亮蓝FCF(蓝色1号)是一种人工合成的有机化合物,主要用作一种蓝色的色素给加工食品、药物、膳食补充剂和化妆品染色。[1]它被分类为一种芳基甲烷染料并且有多个名称,例如FD&C Blue No. 1或者酸性蓝9。它在E编码中被标号为E133并且在国际颜料索引中被标号为42090。在外观上,它是一种可溶于水和甘油的蓝色粉末状固体,[2]具有628纳米的光吸收波长。它是最早被FDA允许的食用色素之一,并且也被广泛认为是无毒无害的。[3]
Scientists who were conducting in-vivo studies of compounds to lessen the severity of inflammation following experimental spinal cord injury had previously tested a compound called OxATP to block a key ATP receptor in spinal neurons. However, OxATP has toxic side effects and must be injected directly into the spinal cord; in searching for alternatives they noted that brilliant blue FCF has a similar structure. This led them to test a related dye, brilliant blue G (also known as Coomassie brilliant blue) in rats, which improved recovery from spinal cord injury while temporarily turning them blue.[20]
When human washed platelets are evaluated using turbidimetry it was found that brilliant blue FCF affects platelet aggregation by blocking the Panx1 channels. These inhibitory effects on collagen-induced shape change and maximal aggregation were shown by high (1 mM) concentrations of the dye but not by lower concentrations (100 μM). The 1 mM effective concentration is 1.59 times greater than the approximately 0.63 mM maximal allowable brilliant blue FCF concentration according to the European Food Safety Authority.[21]
Scientists are performing studies to better understand the effects of brilliant blue FCF during veingraft explantation. Brilliant blue FCF hinders the purinergic receptors, limiting cell proliferation that may lead to intimal hyperplasia. The effects of brilliant blue FCF were tested on rat aortic cells. It was found that brilliant blue FCF had a positive impact in limiting the development of intimal hyperplasia following a vein graft procedure.[22][23]
