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.

A method is presented to assess in vivo in transparent tissues the leukocyte subtypes that roll in microvessels. In nine rabbits anesthetized with ketamine-xylazine, leukocyte nuclei were stained in situ with acridine yellow (3 mg/kg i.v. for 5 min). Intravital

Fluorescent DeltapH and DeltaPsi indicators have been screened for the non-invasive monitoring of bioenergetic processes in whole cells of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Acridine yellow and Acridine orange proved to be the best DeltapH indicators for the investigation

Amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), frequently expressed as a constitutively active deletion mutant (EGFRvIII), occurs commonly in glioblastoma multiformes (GBM). However, blockade of EGFR is therapeutically disappointing for gliomas with PTEN deletion. To search for small molecules
