ophenanthroline

o-Phenanthroline (1,10-Phenanthroline) , a metal chelator, prevents the induction of chromosomal aberrations in streptozotocin-treated cells.o-Phenanthroline protects mammalian cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced gene mutation and morphological transformation.

Bathophenanthrolinedisulfonic acid disodium salt (BPS) is a colorimetric reagent for detecting iron ions with a measurement wavelength of 535 nm. It is suitable for iron determination in aqueous systems without the need for solvent extraction. Additionally, BPS can be used to prepare Europium(III) bis(meso-phenanthroline disulfonate) and ruthenium(II) tris(meso-phenanthroline disulfonate) complexes or to form water-soluble complexes with palladium for the catalytic oxidation of 2-hexanol.

o-Phenanthroline monohydrate (1, 10-Phenanthroline monohydrate) is an inhibitor of metallopeptidases, inhibits zinc-dependent hydrolysis of Fa-Gly-Leu-NH2 by B. subtilis neutral protease and B. thermoproteolyticus thermolysin.
