Neocuproine

Description: Neocuproine is a copper(I) chelator that enhances the purinergic component of vasoconstriction induced by electric field stimulation, and is often used as a ligand reagent and copper ion detector.Neocuproine forms stable complexes with copper ions and can play a catalytic role in certain chemical reactions and analytical methods.Neocuproine acts as a redox-active on the iron and cobalt ligand platform for protection against oxidative damage in NSC34 cells. Target: Others. Smiles: Cc1ccc2ccc3ccc(C)nc3c2n1. References: Castro PA, et al.
