Methylene Violet 3RAX

Description: Methylene Violet 3RAX is a cationic dye, a potential photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy, with antitumor activity that alters the molecular structure of DNA, disrupts the modules of DNA, and induces the production of reactive monoclinic oxygen species, which are used to stain the mitochondria of cells.Methylene Violet 3RAX inhibits the subcellular localization of cancer cells by severing the Methylene Violet 3RAX inhibits subcellular localization of cancer cells, leading to cell death by cutting DNA strands in tumor cells. Target: Photosensitizer, Cholinesterase (ChE). Smiles: [Cl-].N=1C=2C=CC(N)=CC2[N+](C=3C=CC=CC3)=C4C=C(C=CC14)N(CC)CC. References: Onder S, et al.
