HIDE SMILES / InChI
ICG is a cyanine fluorescent dye which is used in medicine as an indicator substance (for photometric hepatic function diagnostics and fluorescence angiography) in cardiac, circulatory, hepatic and ophthalmic conditions. It is administered intravenously and, depending on liver performance, is eliminated from the body with a half life of approx. 3-4 minutes.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Known to be CNS non-penetrant in mice and rabbits, where it was used to monitor BBB disruptions. Human data not available.

Sample Use Guides

The usual doses of Indocyanine Green for Injection USP for dilution curves are as follows: adults - 5.0 mg, children - 2.5 mg, infants - 1.25 mg. These doses of the dye are usually injected in 1 mL volume. An average of five dilution curves are recommended in the performance of a diagnostic cardiac catheterization. The total dose of dye injected should be kept below 2 mg/kg.
