| Targets |
Carmoisine does not target a specific protein or enzyme. As an azo dye, its utility in food coloring and research is based on its chemical and physical properties rather than binding to a specific molecular target.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and F2-isoprostanes are produced in vitro by blood neutrophils more efficiently when carmoisine is added. Blood neutrophils produce more F2-isoprostanes when carmoisine is present, at all tested concentrations[2].
The in vitro activity of Carmoisine is characterized by its strong absorbance in the visible spectrum, with a lambda max of 514-518 nm. When used in conjunction with other dyes, Carmoisine effectively differentiates cellular and tissue components, providing high contrast for microscopic analysis and enabling clear visualization of structural details. |
| ln Vivo |
Male Wistar rats are treated with carmoisine (49.3–493.93 mg/kg; oral; 42 days); whereas NFκB and GADD45α expression remain unchanged, carmoisine therapy enhances MAPK8 expression at remarkably low and high concentrations[1].
In vivo, Carmoisine is not used as a therapeutic agent. It is a food additive that is absorbed and metabolized to varying degrees. While approved as a food colorant in many countries, its use is regulated due to potential hypersensitivity reactions, particularly in individuals with aspirin intolerance or asthma. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro binding assays are not applicable for Carmoisine as it functions as a food colorant and research dye rather than a drug targeting specific enzymes or receptors. The compound can be used in staining protocols where it is applied to tissue sections or cellular samples.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cellular experiments, Carmoisine may be used in histological staining procedures. The dye can be applied to tissue sections to provide contrast for microscopic visualization. When used with other dyes, it helps differentiate cellular and tissue components.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rats (120-300 g)[1]
Doses: 49.3 mg/kg, 493 mg/kg Route of Administration: Oral administration; for 42 days Experimental Results: Resulted in apoptosis according to MAPK8 expression. In vivo animal experiments with Carmoisine are not typically performed as a therapeutic intervention. The compound is primarily used as a food colorant and research reagent. Its safety has been evaluated in toxicological studies for regulatory approval as a food additive. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Following intravenous injection of 1 mg in rats, 30-40% of the color is excreted unchanged via bile. Lactic acid bacteria can reduce its content. In rats with renal pedicle ligation, intravenous injection of azo red S resulted in an apparent maximum bile excretion rate, which could be inhibited by phenolphthalein glucuronide or probenecid. Bile excretion of the dye may involve active transport processes. Pharmacokinetic properties of Carmoisine have been studied in the context of its use as a food additive. The compound is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized to varying degrees. However, detailed pharmacokinetic data is not typically reported for food colorants. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for Carmoisine indicates that it can cause hypersensitivity reactions, particularly in individuals with aspirin intolerance or asthma. Its use is regulated in many countries, and acceptable daily intake levels have been established. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use.

Reddish-brown crystals or dark reddish-brown powder. (NTP, 1992)
Carmine is an organic molecular entity. Carmoisine (Azorubine, E122) is a synthetic red azo dye used as a food colorant in beverages, confectionery, and baked goods. It is favored for its stability under heat and light. The compound has no clinical or therapeutic applications and has not received regulatory approval for systemic use. |
