1-Methoxyphenazine is an organic compound characterized by its phenazine core, which is a bicyclic structure composed of two fused benzene rings and a nitrogen-containing heterocycle. The presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 1-position of the phenazine structure influences its chemical properties, including its solubility and reactivity. This compound typically exhibits a range of colors, often appearing as a solid or crystalline material. It is known for its potential applications in organic electronics, dyes, and as a redox-active species in various chemical reactions. The methoxy substituent can enhance the compound's electron-donating properties, making it useful in certain electrochemical applications. Additionally, 1-methoxyphenazine may exhibit fluorescence, which can be exploited in sensing and imaging technologies. As with many organic compounds, its stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and pH. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.

1-Methoxyphenazine is a redox cycle compound that can be used as a tetrazolium dye. It is an inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosinase, which converts tyrosine to DOPA and DOPA to dopaquinone. 1-Methoxyphenazine inhibits the oxidation of L-DOPA to dopamine and increases the formation of melanin. This chemical also has antioxidant effects, which are due to its ability to inhibit the formation of oxidized products such as hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxides. 1-Methoxyphenazine also inhibits nuclear DNA replication in human cells in culture by binding to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) at the active site of DNA polymerase alpha. It is also able to inhibit uptake of all-trans-retinoic acid into cultured human skin cells.
