Erythrosine B (also known as Red No. 3), a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved red food dye, is found in cosmetics and food. It is also used as a plasma stain for nerve cells and staining bacteria in soil. It was studied the modulating capabilities of erythrosine B on amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) aggregation and Aβ-associated impaired neuronal cell function. It is known, that aggregation Aβ is closely linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease pathology.

In order to determine the detrimental effects of rythrosine B (ER)-induced amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) aggregates on cellular functions, it was chosen the cellular MTT reducing activity of Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Cells were adminstered Aβ aggregates preformed in the absence or presence of ER. Preformed Aβ aggregates were prepared by incubating 50 µM Aβ monomers in the absence or presence of various concentrations of ER (1x to 10x) at 37°C for the specified time duration. SH-SY5Y cells were incubated with 5 µM preformed aggregates for 48 hours, and subsequently MTT reducing activity was determined. The results suggested that ER mitigated Aβ-associated damage to the cellular function by blocking specific sequence of low molecular weight Aβ species that confers damages to neuronal cells. However, even at 10x ER the protofibrils formed are A11- and OC-reactive, suggesting that ER binding sites on the Aβ do not overlap with the epitope of either A11 or OC antibody.
