Ruthenium red

Description

Ruthenium red (synonym: ammoniated ruthenium oxychloride) inhibits the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter. However, in addition it has been shown to interact with and inhibit a large number of other proteins, including ion channels particularly of the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid (TRPV) family [1], Ca2+-ATPases, and, importantly, the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) [2].

Abbreviation: Rut

Application in HRR

Rut: Ruthenium Red (technical grade; [(NH3)5RuORu(NH3)4ORu(NH3)5]Cl6); Sigma R 2751, 1 g; M = 786.35 g·mol-1.
Preparation of 10 mM stock solution (dissolved in H2O):
  1. Weigh 7.86 mg Ruthenium Red.
  2. Dissolve in 1 mL H2O.
  3. Divide into 0.2 mL aliquots.
  4. Store at -20 °C.
