Viscosity probes towards different organelles with red emission based on an identical hemicyanine structure.

A series of viscosity probes targeting different organelles were obtained using a single hemicyanine dye as the matrix structure. Specifically, probes 1a-d were obtained by introducing four amines (6-amino-2-chromen-2-one, -(2-aminoethyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, dodecan-1-amine and , diphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine) into the indole hemicyanine dye of the carboxylic acid with a D-π-A structure. Their maximum absorption wavelengths were in the range 570-586 nm and they had relatively large molar absorption coefficients, while their maximum emission wavelengths in the red light region were in the range 596-611 nm.

Conjugated structures based on quinazolinones and their application in fluorescent labeling.

As an alkaloid, quinazolinone exhibits excellent biological properties; structurally, it also has the potential to construct fluorescent probes with conjugated structures. In this work, probes 5a-c and 6b were obtained by introducing quinazolone into aldehydes with different numbers of double bonds. Their absorption maxima were located at 420-540 nm and their emission maxima were at 500-600 nm in solvents of different polarities.

Preparation of Chromeno[]quinoline Derivatives and Their Application for Lipid Droplets Markers.

Functional dyes with a chromeno[]quinoline skeleton (-) were synthesized by one-step cyclization between coumarin derivatives and aromatic amines under the promotion of anhydrous aluminum chloride in 41.2-45.8% yields.

Design and synthesis of a series of OFF-ON near infrared fluorescent probes for nucleic acid in aqueous solution.

Five cyanine dyes (6a-e) with aza units were prepared by the reaction of pyridinum or quinolinium with suitable aldehydes. They present several remarkable features including large Stokes shift (235-282 nm), long emission wavelength (640-698 nm) and excellent selectivity. Moreover, probes 6a-b display obvious and sensitive fluorescent response to DNA and RNA in aqueous solution, and the quantum yield of probe 6a response to RNA increases from 0 to 8.
