Proflavine hemisulfate_product_DataBase

Bioactivity	Proflavine hemisulfate, an acridine dye, is a known DNA intercalating agent. Anti-microbial agent[1]. Proflavine hemisulfate behaves as a pore blocker for Kir3.2. Proflavine hemisulfate is a potential lead compound for Kir3.2-associated neurological diseases[2].
Invitro	Proflavine (0.1-10 μM; 24 hours) inhibits the growth of Kir3.2-transformant cells and Kir3.2 activity in a concentration-dependent manner[1]. Proflavine (300 μM) progressively reduces the current amplitude of Kir3.2 mutant to 27.7±4.3% of the control[2]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line:
