Product Description
1,8-Dinitroanthraquinone is a multifunctional dye. Dyes are important tools in biological experiments, helping researchers observe and analyze cell structures, track biomolecules, evaluate cell functions, distinguish cell types, detect biomolecules, study tissue pathology, and monitor microorganisms. Their applications range from basic scientific research to clinical diagnosis. Dyes are also widely used in traditional fields such as textile dyeing, as well as emerging fields such as functional textile processing, food pigments, and dye-sensitized solar cells.
1,8-Dinitroanthraquinone (CAS: 129-39-5; C14H₆N2O₆, MW 298.21) is a dinitro derivative of anthraquinone, with nitro groups at the 1 and 8 positions. It appears as yellow crystals and is used as a dye intermediate in the production of other dyes and pigments. In biological research, it is classified as a multifunctional dye and can be used to observe cell structures, track biomolecules, and study tissue pathology. It is not a drug. This compound is strictly for research and industrial use, not for human or veterinary consumption.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Not applicable; this is a dye intermediate, not a drug with a defined molecular target.
ln Vitro
1,8-Dinitroanthraquinone has no known in vitro pharmacological activity as a drug. It is a dye intermediate and may be used as a stain for non-biological materials. In research, it might be used as a standard in analytical chemistry or as a starting material for the synthesis of other anthraquinone derivatives. It does not inhibit specific enzymes or bind to receptors in a selective manner. No cell-based assays for drug efficacy are performed with this compound. It is a chemical intermediate, not a bioactive molecule.
ln Vivo
No in vivo biological activity is reported for therapeutic purposes. 1,8-Dinitroanthraquinone is not administered to animals as a drug. It may be used in toxicology studies as a model compound for nitroaromatic pollutants. For example, it can be administered to rats or mice by oral gavage to study its metabolism and excretion. It may also be used in ecotoxicology studies with aquatic organisms. However, such studies are for safety assessment, not for drug efficacy. The compound has no pharmacodynamic properties.
Enzyme Assay
No receptor or enzyme binding assays are applicable. The compound is a yellow crystalline solid; its purity can be analyzed by HPLC or by melting point determination (311-312degC). Its UV-Vis absorption spectrum can be measured in organic solvents (e.g., DMSO). The compound does not bind to any known biological target. No radioligand binding or enzyme inhibition assays are performed because it is not a pharmaceutical. It may be used as a standard in analytical chemistry for quality control of dye intermediates.
Cell Assay
No cell-based assays are performed for therapeutic purposes. In research, the compound may be used in bacterial decolorization or biodegradation studies. Bacteria capable of reducing nitro groups (e.g., some Pseudomonas or Bacillus species) are cultured in minimal media containing 1,8-Dinitroanthraquinone (0.1-1 mM) as a sole nitrogen source. The reduction of nitro groups to amino groups can be monitored by HPLC or UV-Vis spectroscopy. These are environmental microbiology assays, not drug discovery. The compound is not used for staining live cells.
Animal Protocol
No in vivo experiments are performed for therapeutic purposes. In toxicology studies, the compound might be administered to rats by oral gavage at doses of 100-1000 mg/kg to determine acute toxicity (LD50). Animals are observed for 14 days. For subchronic studies, rats may be fed diets containing 0, 100, 500, or 2000 ppm of the compound for 90 days. Endpoints include body weight, organ weights, hematology, clinical chemistry, and histopathology. Such studies are for chemical safety assessment, not drug development. All procedures require IACUC approval.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No PK data exists for this compound as a drug. It is not a pharmaceutical. Physicochemically, it is a yellow crystalline solid, insoluble in water, slightly soluble in organic solvents (acetone, DMF, DMSO). It has a melting point of 311-312degC. For research use, it can be dissolved in DMSO (10-20 mg/mL). Store powder at room temperature in a dry, dark place. The compound is stable under normal conditions. Not formulated for injection.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Limited toxicology data is available. 1,8-Dinitroanthraquinone may be an irritant. As a nitroaromatic compound, it may have the potential to cause methemoglobinemia if absorbed in large quantities. It is also a potential mutagen. Standard laboratory safety precautions: use in a fume hood, wear gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles. Avoid dust inhalation and direct skin contact. The compound is not approved for human consumption. Dispose of according to local regulations.

*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)
