CAS Number: 146-68-9
Synonyms: INT, 2-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride
Product Description
Appearance: Light yellow powder
Molecular formula: C19H13C1IN5O2
Molecular weight: 505.7
Melting point: (with decomp.) 202-204°C
E1%(249nm) = 680 (water)
Storage and Stability It is stable at least two years if stored at 2-8°C in the dark.
Solubility/Solution Stability
INT dissolves in water to give a clear light yellow to light green solution at 4 mg/mL, although gentle heat and sonication are necessary for this concentration. INT dissolves up to 8 mg/mL in ethanol, and up to 30 mg/mL in ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. Aqueous solutions are reported to be stable for several weeks when stored at 2-8°C in the dark.
General Remarks
This tetrazolium dye precursor forms a purple formazan dye on reduction and has been used in a variety of applications. It is considered to have higher reactivity than some tetrazolium compounds, at least with respect to succinate dehydrogenase, with optimal results obtained using a concentration of 0.8 mM INT. The formazan (available as I7375) is comparatively insoluble in water, so can be detected visually or extracted into ethanol or organic solvent and determined spectrophotometrically. Altman reviewed properties of a number of different tetrazolium salts.
