Selective binding of small molecule ligands to nucleic acids with high affinity and limited toxicity remains an important goal in the development of compounds that can probe DNA or RNA in cells. Thiazole orange is a cell semi-permeant, fluorescent cyanine dye, with low background noise, that binds several forms of nucleic acids. However, thiazole orange can exhibit cytotoxicity when used at high concentration and/or with prolonged exposure.
