| Bioactivity | DiOC3(3) (3,3'-Dipropyloxacarbocyanine iodide) is a green fluorescent lipophilic dye with cell membrane permeability. DiOC3(3) can be used to stain cell membranes and other lipid-soluble biological structures[1][2]. |
| Invitro | DiOC3(3) is effluxed to a marked degree relative to the DiOC5-7(3) in the KB85 cells[1]. |
