Biochem/physiol Actions

Acridine Yellow G (AYG) is an organic dye with photophysical properties. It is widely used in optics, medicine and photovoltaic cells. AYG has been used as a solar photocatalyst to increase biodegradability and remove ferulic acid, a target pollutant from wastewater. It retards the growth of glioblastoma via dual inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor and protein kinase c kinases.

Acridine dyes, fluorescein and lucifer yellow CH are fluorescent photosensitizers used experimentally to selectively stain and photodynamically destroy eukaryotic cells and subcellular structures. We have determined that the mechanism of light- and oxygen-dependent inactivation of E. coli by these dyes
