Rhodizonic acid disodium
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Rhodizonic acid disodium (Sodium rhodizonate dibasic) is a transition metal-dependent pro-oxidant and lead detection agent that induces reactive oxygen species generation, DNA damage, and inhibits Aconitase activity. Rhodizonic acid disodium generates superoxide anion radicals in an iron (II)-dependent manner, leading to aconitase inactivation. Rhodizonic acid disodium also triggers hydroxyl radical-mediated DNA strand breaks and 8-OHdG formation via copper ion reduction. Rhodizonic acid disodium reacts with lead to form a scarlet precipitate, with the color intensity proportional to lead content, enabling qualitative or quantitative analysis of lead. Rhodizonic acid disodium can also be used for real-time visualization of the dynamic process of lead sequestration in the plant rhizosphere and evaluation of the effects of environmental factors such as soil type on the stability of lead-sequestering structures.

Biological Activity
Disodium rhodizonate (5 mg) serves as a highly efficient real-time staining agent for detecting lead sequestration by living root border cells and their mucilage in Golden Bantam maize. It forms a scarlet precipitate proportional to lead content, while showing pale yellow staining under lead-free conditions[2].
Procedure: Staining for 10 sec; lead exposure for 1 min/60 min; incubation with lead + nuclease for 60 min; nuclease incubation for 20 min after lead treatment[2].
