gentian violet is a blue, aniline-derived dye with antifungal and antimitotic properties. gentian violet (gv) dissociates into positive (gv+) and negative ions (cl-) that penetrate both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial cells. the gv+ ions interact with negatively charged components of the bacterial cell wall including lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan and dna. this agent is also a mutagen and mitotic poison. gv elicits a photodynamic action mediated by a free-radical mechanism. furthermore, this agent dissipates the action potential on prokaryotic or eukaryotic membranes by inducing permeability, thereby leading to respiratory inhibition and subsequent cell death.gentian violet belongs to the group of medicines called antifungals. topical gentian violet is used to treat some types of fungus infections inside the mouth (thrush) and of the skin.gentian violet is an antiseptic dye used to treat fungal infections of the skin (e.g., ringworm, athlete's foot). it also has weak antibacterial effects and may be used on minor cuts and scrapes to prevent infection. this product has been withdrawn from the canadian market due to safety problems.
