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 gยทmol-1.
- Preparation of 10 mM stock solution (dissolved in H2O):
- Weigh 7.86 mg Ruthenium Red.
- Dissolve in 1 mL H2O.
- Divide into 0.2 mL aliquots.
- Store at -20 ยฐC.
