Murexide is the ammonium salt of purpuric acid that appears as a slightly reddish-purple powder and is soluble in water. It is mainly used as an indicator for complexometric titrations to measure water hardness and as a colorant/pigment in the dye industry.
Application
Murexide is used for the histochemical staining of calcium in the skeleton. It is suitable for staining the hemijaws for dental caries scoring.
An insulin hexamer containing one B10-bound Co(III) ion and one unoccupied B10 site has been synthesized. The properties of the monosubstituted hexamer show that occupancy of only one B10 site by Co3+ is sufficient to stabilize the hexameric form under

In the first, Cadmium selenide Nanoparticle loaded on activated carbon (CdSe-NP-AC) has been synthesized and characterized by different techniques including XRD and SEM. Then, this new adsorbent successfully has been applied for the removal of muroxide (MO) from aqueous solution

The Ca indicator tetramethylmurexide was introduced into cut fibers, mounted in a double-Vaseline-gap chamber, by diffusion from the end-pool solutions. The indicator diffused rapidly to the central region of a fiber where optical recording was done and, if removed, diffused

Two new Ca indicators, purpurate-3,3'diacetic acid (PDAA) and 1,1'-dimethylpurpurate-3,3'diacetic acid (DMPDAA), were synthesized and used to measure Ca transients in frog cut muscle fibers. These indicators are analogues of the purpurate components of murexide and tetramethylmurexide, in which two acetate

In this paper the authors studied the effects of thyroid hormones and their structural analogues on the mitochondrial calcium transport activities. The thyroid hormones, 3,5,3' L-triiodothyronine (LT3) and 3,5,3'5' L-tetraiodothyronine (LT4) at physiological intracellular concentrations between 7.2 and 9 nM
