Gallocyanine chloride is a synthetic blue dyestuff that can be used as a potential agent for the research of Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative tauopathies. It inhibits DKK1/LRP6 interaction (IC50=6.38 μM), activates the Wnt signaling pathway, and causes β-catenin accumulation. This compound also exhibits anti-metastasis, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrosis activities. It can further be used as a fluorescent probe for the detection of superoxide anion radicals.
