CAS: 81-88-9

Ref. 3D-FR41351

Product Information

• Name: Rhodamine B
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Rhodamine B is a fluorescent dye that has been used as a model system to study the effects of drugs on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) function. It has been shown to inhibit P-gp function by binding to the transporter protein, which is responsible for pumping drugs and other compounds out of cells. Rhodamine B can be used as a probe for P-gp activity in cell lines, including squamous carcinoma cells, and can also be used to measure drug efflux from cells.Rhodamine B was found to have an optimum concentration of 10 μM and a structural analysis showed it forms a complex with the transporter protein.
