Tris(4-aminophenyl)methane is a triphenylmethane dye. Tris(4-aminophenyl)methane is a weak HCV helicase inhibitor. IC50 & Target: HCV helicase^[1] In Vitro: Tris(4-aminophenyl)methane (Compound 8) shows weak HCV helicase inhibition (30% inhibition at 100 uM)^[1]. To preserve RNA in a biological sample for analysis, the sample is incubated with an RNA preservative capable of precipitating RNA in an aqueous solution, such as a triphenylmethane dye (e.g., methyl green, crystal violet, pararosaniline, or Tris(4-aminophenyl)methane), cresyl violet, or cobalt ions. RNA preservation may be used in an immunostaining assay and other histochemical methods^[2].
