Product Data
Biological target:
Crystal Violet (Gentian Violet) has antiviral effects against H1N1 and also has prominent bactericidal activities.
In vitro activity:
This study examined the antiviral activity of gentian violet (GV) and GV-dyed cloth against the influenza A (H1N1) virus. Time-kill studies were carried out, and the virus titer was determined based on the 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of GV against bacteria were also determined, and the killing activities of the GV-dyed cloth were judged from viable cell counts. GV immediately killed the influenza A virus and this was confirmed by electron microscopy. Reference: J Infect Chemother. 2006 Apr;12(2):73-9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16648946/
In vivo activity:
Crystal violet exhibited characteristics of an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, i.e. it released respiratory control, hindered ATP synthesis, enhanced ATPase activity, and produced swelling of isolated rat liver mitochondria. Maximal stimulation of respiration, ATPase activity, and swelling was observed at a concentration of 40 microM. The inhibition of State 3 respiration by oligomycin was released by crystal violet. High concentrations of crystal violet inhibited mitochondrial respiration. Reference: J Biol Chem. 1988 Sep 5;263(25):12493-9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2970460/
