Gentian Violet

Preferred Label : Gentian Violet;

NCIt synonyms : Crystal Violet; Basic Violet 3; CI 42555; Hexamethyl-P-Rosaniline Chloride;

NCIt definition : A blue, aniline-derived dye with antifungal and antimitotic properties. Gentian violet (GV) dissociates into positive (GV ) and negative ions (Cl-) that penetrate both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial cells. The GV ions interact with negatively charged components of the bacterial cell wall including lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan and DNA. This agent is also a mutagen and mitotic poison. GV elicits a photodynamic action mediated by a free-radical mechanism. Furthermore, this agent dissipates the action potential on prokaryotic or eukaryotic membranes by inducing permeability, thereby leading to respiratory inhibition and subsequent cell death.;
