Nile Blue

11/01/2001 - "Early reports using mouse models indicated that Nile Blue A (NBA) is taken up more efficiently by tumor cells than normal tissue and retards tumor growth. "
01/01/2001 - "Fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy of ethyl nile blue A in animal models of (pre)malignancies."
01/01/2001 - "Nile blue dyes have been shown to have affinity for tumor tissue as compared to surrounding normal tissue and to be relatively non-toxic. "
05/15/1991 - "Lysosomal localization and mechanism of uptake of Nile blue photosensitizers in tumor cells."
07/01/1990 - "The tumor growth delay produced by Pt(Nile blue)2 (100 mg/kg) was 4.6 days and by Pt(neutral red)2 (100 mg/kg) was 3.8 days. "

03/30/2000 - "After rats on gestation day 10 exposed to hyperthermia(40 degrees C) for 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 h, red-cell C3b receptor activity(aggregate), red-cell immune complex, circulating immune complex, Nile blue sulfate (NBS) vital staining, electronic microscope and histochemical techniques were used in investigate whether the hyperthermia was disturb red-cell immune functions of pregnant rats and played some role in teratogenesis. "
07/01/1990 - "Interaction with hyperthermia of tetrachloroplatinum(II)(Nile blue)2 and tetrachloroplatinum(II)(neutral red)2 in EMT6 murine cells and the murine FSaIIC fibrosarcoma."
07/01/1990 - "Both drugs were markedly improved by hyperthermia (tumor growth delay 1.4 days for hyperthermia; tumor growth delay 10.9 days for Pt(Nile blue)2 and 8.0 days for Pt(neutral red)2. Intracellular platinum levels were approximately 200 times higher after exposure of EMT6 cells to 25 microM of Pt(Nile blue)2 or Pt(neutral red)2 for 1 h at 37 degrees C than after exposure to the same concentration of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II). "

01/01/2019 - "CCG smears from 20 controls and 16 dysautonomia cases were stained with May-Grünwald Giemsa (MGG), hematoxylin and eosin (HE), and cresyl fast violet (CFV), with HE-stained histological sections of CCG as gold standard for diagnosis. "

01/01/2016 - "However their subsequent photophysical behavior is different and only nile blue is able to induce DNA photosensitization via an electron transfer mechanism. "
05/15/1991 - "Results of the present study also suggest that the lysosomes may be an intracellular target for photodynamic killing of tumor cells mediated by Nile blue photosensitizers and that lysosomotropic photosensitization may be a strategy for effective and selective destruction of tumor cells."
