WHAT DOES THIONINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Thionine

Thionine, also known as thionine acetate or Lauth's violet, is a strongly staining metachromatic dye that is widely used for biological staining. Thionine can also be used in place of Schiff reagent in quantitative Feulgen staining of DNA. It can also be used to mediate electron transfer in microbial fuel cells. The dye's name is frequently misspelled, with omission of the e. The -ine ending indicates that the compound is an amine. When both the amines are dimethylated, the product tetramethyl thionine is famous as methylene blue, and the intermediates are Azure C, Azure A, and Azure B. When methylene blue is "polychromed" by ripening, it forms thionine and all the Azure intermediates.

Definition of thionine in the English dictionary
