| | 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white powder | | Uses | 2,3,5-Triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride is used as a dye in cell biological studies. | | Uses | 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride is a selective serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist and 5-HT3 gastrointestinal prokinetic agent for functional dyspepsia | | Uses | In analytical chemistry as a sensitive reagent for reducing sugars, and to distinguish between a-ketols and simple aldehydes. For staining plant and animal tissue. Germination indicator in testing the ability of seeds to germinate: G. Lakon, Ber. Dtsch. Bot. Ges. 60, 299, 434 (1942). In histochemical studies. In determination of antibiotics; of dehydrogenases. | | Definition | ChEBI: An organic chloride salt having 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium as the counterion. | | General Description | 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride is a colorless water-soluble dye. In the mitochondria of living cells, it is reduced to a deep red, water-insoluble compound (formazan). 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride helps to distinguish between viable and infarcted brain tissue after stroke. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise TTZ from EtOH or CHCl3, and dry it at 105o.
