Evans Blue tetrasodium salt is a highly potent inhibitor of the vesicular glutamate uptake (IC50=87nM)[1]. Evans Blue is widely used in biomedicine including the estimation of blood volume, the assessment of vascular permeability to macromolecules, the detection of lymph nodes, and the location of the tumor lesions[2].
Evans Blue (0-100μM, 1h) potently reduced Epsilon-toxin (ETX)-induced hemolysis (EC50: ~1.2μM)[3].
Evans Blue (2%, 4ml/kg; i.v.; 50min) combined with FITC-Dextran (2000kDa) can be used to quantify blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage in specific regions of mice with lipopolysaccharide-induced BBB disruption and in apoE-/- mice[4].
