Product Data
Biological target:
Rose Bengal is a potent VGlut and vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT) inhibitor (Ki values are 19 and 64 nM, respectively). Rose Bengal inhibits ATP dependent vesicular glutamate uptake (IC50 = 37 nM) and diminishes the amount of exocytotically released glutamate in synaptosomes. Rose Bengal stains exposed epithelium in the eye.
In vitro activity:
This study suggests the potential of RB-conjugated PEG-modified NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles (UCNPs) for applications in photodynamic therapy of cancer. In this study, the cytotoxicity of upconverting UCNPs before and after conjugation with Rose Bengal was evaluated on rat mesenchymal stem cells and significant differences were found. Reference: Life (Basel). 2022 Sep 5;12(9):1383. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36143419/
In vivo activity:
In a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, Rose Bengal was shown to inhibit tau neurotoxicity, at least partially. Analysis indicated that Rose Bengal might act on protein phosphorylation pathways to inhibit tau hyperphosphorylation. Tau hyperphosphorylation is a target for Alzheimer’s therapy, making Rose Bengal a potential anti-Alzheimer’s drug candidate.
