Gallocyanine is a small molecule blue dye used to stain nuclei. It is known to inhibit Dickkopf-1 (Dkk1), an antagonist of the Wnt pathway. Gallocyanine can disrupt the interaction of Dkk1 with its receptor LRP5/6 (IC = 3 µM), thereby activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Modulation of the Dkk1-LRP5/6 interaction via gallocyanine has been shown to inhibit prostaglandin J-induced tau phosphorylation at serine in primary cortical neurons in vitro.
Gallocyanine (Gallocyanine chloride)is a synthetic blue dyestuff that can be used as a potential agent for the research of Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative tauopathies. Gallocyanine (Gallocyanine chloride) inhibits DKK1/LRP6 interaction (IC50=6.38 μM), activates Wnt signaling pathway, and causes β-catenin accumulation. Gallocyanine (Gallocyanine chloride) exhibits anti-metastasis, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis activities. Gallocyanine (Gallocyanine chloride) can be used as a fluorescent probe for detection of superoxide anion radicals.
