Brilliant black BN is an azo dye and a food colorant[1]. Brilliant Black BN is widely used in the food and cosmetics industries[2][3]. Brilliant Black BN also plays an key role in antiviral research, drug development, and biochemical studies[4][5].
In vitro, Brilliant Black BN (8.67, 86.7, and 867μg/ml; 24h) induced significant genotoxic effects in human peripheral blood lymphocytes and increased micronucleus formation and DNA damage[6].
In vivo, Brilliant Black BN (200mg/kg/day; intraperitoneal injection; 4 days) protected AG129 mice from lethal EV71 infection, reduced clinical scores, and significantly decreased viral titers in brain and muscle tissues[7].
