Description

Application

Bathophenanthrolinedisulfonic acid disodium salt hydrate has been used to measure iron to determine the solubility of iron in the biological sample.[1] It has been used as an iron chelator to grow plants without Fe-EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid).[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bathophenanthrolinedisulfonic acid is a metal chelator.[3] It permits iron determination to be made in aqueous medium without need for solvent extraction. It forms a complex with Fe²⁺ and makes it unavailable to Fe²⁺ transporter, thereby inhibiting the transport of iron into chloroplasts.[4] Bathophenanthrolinedisulfonic acid is also used in the assay for determining intracellular glutathione.[5][6]
