Description

MTT Formazan is a tetrazolium dye that is used to assess the cytotoxicity of cancer cells. It has been shown to be a significant interaction with detoxification enzymes and can induce cell lysis, leading to a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. MTT Formazan has been extensively studied for its toxicological properties, including studies on the effects of natural compounds, such as flavonoids and catechins, on the compound's cytotoxicity. MTT Formazan has also been used in vivo and vitro assays to study the effects of infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases.
