Application

O-Cresolphthalein has been used as a component in calcifying media for calcification assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

o-Cresolphthalein is a reversible pH indicator. The kinetics of the reverse pathway (red-purple to colorless) is slow, thereby making it an appropriate molecule to check flow patterns in ducts with corrugated walls. It is also used for the colorimetric determination of calcium content via the o-cresolphthalein complexone method. Binding of calcium to o-cresolphthalein, in the presence of alkaline conditions (pH 10-12), results in the formation of a red complex with an absorbance at 570-575nm.

Gadolinium formulations, which are administered as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging examinations, interfere with colorimetric serum calcium determinations. We performed an in vitro study to determine the extent to which three gadolinium formulations-gadodiamide (Omniscan), gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist), and gadoversetamide
