Description

Lucidin is a trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) derivative of anthraquinone glycosides that has been synthesized for its genotoxic activity. It has been shown to be an eye irritant, and is capable of inducing erythema and corneal damage in rabbits. Lucidin also causes a significant decrease in the survival of microalgae when exposed to it. This compound is analyzed by following the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, which uses two primers complementary to the sequence of luciferase DNA: one with the 5' end at the beginning of the luciferase gene and one with the 3' end at the end of luciferase gene. The PCR product is then measured by spectrophotometry or fluorescence spectroscopy. Lucidin can be detected in biological samples such as tissue culture or blood serum by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography-mass
