5-Cyano-2,3-di-p-tolyltetrazolium chloride

Description:

5-Cyano-2,3-di-p-tolyltetrazolium chloride, commonly referred to as CTAC, is a chemical compound characterized by its tetrazolium structure, which is a five-membered ring containing four nitrogen atoms. This compound is typically used as a redox indicator and is known for its ability to undergo reduction, forming a colored formazan product, which is useful in various biochemical assays, particularly in cell viability and proliferation studies. The presence of cyano and p-tolyl groups enhances its solubility and stability in organic solvents. CTAC is often utilized in laboratory settings for its role in colorimetric assays, allowing researchers to quantify cellular metabolic activity. As with many tetrazolium salts, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper safety protocols should be followed when working with this substance, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area.

CAS: 90217-02-0

5-Cyano-2,3-di-(p-tolyl)tetrazolium chloride (5CDTT) is a tetrazolium dye that can be used as an indicator of bacterial cell lysis. It binds to the enzyme catalase and inhibits its activity. 5CDTT is also a fluorescent derivative that emits red light when activated by ultraviolet light. 5CDTT has been shown to bind to bacteria and cells in culture, which causes cellular lysis and releases intracellular contents into the surrounding medium. 5CDTT has been shown to inhibit the growth of Gram negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli K-12 and Salmonella typhimurium, but not Gram positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus or Bacillus subtilis.
