General description

1,10-Phenanthroline monohydrate is a chelating agent.

Application

It has been used in preparing 0.1 % phenanthroline solution. In another study, 80μl of 1,10-Phenanthroline monohydrate was used along with nanoparticles to measure iron content using colorimetric assay.3 It may be used in the preparation of [Mn(1,10-phen)2(mal)].2H2O.
When complexed with copper, it possesses nuclease activity that has been used to study DNA-protein interactions.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metalloprotease inhibitor; chelates iron, zinc and other divalent metals. Effective concentration 1-10 mM.
