TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Alternate Names Direct blue 53; CI 23860
Application Evans Blue is an inhibitor of EAAT-mediated L-glutamate uptake
CAS Number 314-13-6
Molecular Weight 960.83
Molecular Formula: C34H24N6Na4O14S4

For Research Use Only. Not Intended for Diagnostic or Therapeutic Use.
* Refer to Certificate of Analysis for lot specific data (including water content).

Evans blue is a potent inhibitor of L-glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles via EAAT. Evans Blue also inhibits AMPA and kainate receptor-mediated currents (IC50 values are 220 and 150 nM respectively). The compound is also a P2X-selective purinoceptor antagonist. Used as a dye, Evans blue reduces unwanted fluorescence due to the conjugation and auto fluorescence of structural elements in the tissue or cells.
