Rose Bengal sodium, a synthetic fluorescein derivative, is a deep red dye primarily composed of 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2,4,5,7-tetraiodo fluorescein. It is widely used as an ophthalmic diagnostic agent to detect dry or damaged cells on the ocular surface. Rose Bengal sodium exhibits antitumor activity and can inhibit Friend Leukemia Virus ( FLV ) infection through photodynamic action. Additionally, Rose Bengal sodium can inhibit Abeta aggregation through light irradiation. Rose Bengal sodium holds potential for use in cancer, viral infections, and neurodegenerative disease research [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] .
