General description

Bathocuproinedisulfonic acid is a strong copper chelator. It is used for the determination of copper and iron in biological samples.

Application

  • Bathocuproinedisulfonic acid disodium salt has been used as a copper chelator for specific assay in Arabidopsis seedlings.
  • It has been used as an electron chain-associated free radical production inhibitor for superoxide dismutase assay in cells.
  • It has been added to the culture media of trypanosomes as a copper chelator for the stabilization of cysteine.

A novel method has been devised for the determination of phytochelatins (PCs), heavy-metal-tolerant peptides produced by higher plants and algae. The method is based on the facts that fluorescence of bathocuproine disulfonate (BCS) is quenched by Cu(I) ions as a

Ceruloplasmin (CP) oxidises low density lipoprotein (LDL). The oxidising potential depends on the formation of Cu(+)-CP which is redox-cycled during oxidation. Homocysteine (HCY) reduces free Cu(2+), potentiating its cell-damaging property. We show that HCY enhanced LDL oxidation by CP, but
