Product Description
Ponceau 4R is a synthetic colorant that can be used for food coloring. Ponceau 4R is a strawberry red azo dye that may be utilized in a variety of foods. It is usually synthesized from aromatic hydrocarbons and is stable to light, heat, and acid.
C.I. Acid Red 18 (CAS#: 2611-82-7), also known as New Coccine, Ponceau 4R, or trisodium 7-hydroxy-8-[(4-sulfonatonaphthalen-1-yl)diazenyl]naphthalene-1,3-disulfonate, is a synthetic azo dye. It is commonly used as a food colorant, textile dye, and in various industrial applications. The compound is a dark red powder with a molecular weight of 604.46. C.I. Acid Red 18 is also known as C.I. 16255.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As a synthetic dye, C.I. Acid Red 18 does not have a specific pharmacological target. Its primary applications are as a food colorant and industrial dye. The compound may interact with biological systems through non-specific mechanisms. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of wastewater and infectious diseases, such as cholera and typhoid fever.
ln Vitro
C.I. Acid Red 18 itself is not known to possess direct therapeutic activity. Its significance is as a synthetic dye for food, textile, and industrial applications. The compound is used as a colorant in foods, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. As an azo dye, it may undergo metabolic reduction to aromatic amines, which could have biological effects.
ln Vivo
There is no reported in vivo therapeutic activity for C.I. Acid Red 18 as a drug candidate. The compound is primarily used as a food colorant and industrial dye. It has been used in the treatment of wastewater. Its role in biological systems is primarily as a coloring agent rather than a pharmacologically active compound.
Enzyme Assay
As a synthetic dye, there are no standardized in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for C.I. Acid Red 18 itself. The compound's utility is in food, textile, and industrial applications. Researchers may study the compound's interactions with biological systems in the context of dye metabolism, toxicity, or analytical method development.
Cell Assay
There are no reported in vitro cellular assays for C.I. Acid Red 18 as a therapeutic agent. The compound is used as a food colorant and industrial dye. Cellular studies may be conducted to assess the compound's toxicity, metabolism, or potential for causing allergic symptoms at high concentrations, but these are not therapeutic assays.
Animal Protocol
There are no reported in vivo animal studies for C.I. Acid Red 18 as a therapeutic agent. The compound is primarily used as a food colorant and industrial dye. Animal studies may be conducted to assess the compound's toxicity, metabolism, or potential for causing allergic symptoms, but these are not therapeutic studies.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Intravenous injection of 50-100 μmol of neothecobalaine into rats with ligated renal pedicles resulted in a significant peak in bile excretion, which could be inhibited by phenolphthalein glucuronide or probenecid (both 50 μmol). Bile excretion may involve active transport processes.
As a synthetic dye used in food and industrial applications, there are limited pharmacokinetic data for C.I. Acid Red 18. The compound has a molecular weight of 604.46 and is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in oils. It has a lambda max of 506.0 to 510.0 nm. The compound is stable to citric acid and tartaric acid.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Interactions
Adding 5% of Red 102 (New Red Scale, NC) to a basic purified low-fiber diet (25% casein-sucrose) resulted in severe growth retardation. Conversely, the addition of dietary fiber (GDF) from burdock (the root of edible burdock, scientifically known as Arctium Lappa L.) completely prevented the toxicity of the New Red Scale.
C.I. Acid Red 18 is a long-term toxicant and can induce allergic symptoms at high concentrations. The compound has poor heat stability and reducing stability. In alkaline solutions, it turns brown. The compound should be handled with appropriate safety precautions. Toxicological studies would be needed to fully characterize its safety profile for any therapeutic applications.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
