Description

Alizarin, traditionally obtained from the roots of the madder plant, has been used to dye textiles since early days. Alizarin red is used in histology and medicine to stain calcium-containing specimens, e.g. bones and calcifications. Chromogenic substrates for enzymes based on alizarin have been developed and, as an example, alizarin-beta-D-galactoside (Aliz-gal) has been reported for the detection of bacterial beta-galactosidase by researchers at the University of Northumbria and the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK (James, 2000)
