The present invention relates to hydrophilic, high quantum yield acridinium compounds. It has been discovered that the placement of electron-donating groups in the acridinium ring system increases the amount of light that is emitted by the corresponding acridinium compound when its chemiluminescence is triggered by alkaline peroxide. More specifically, it has been found that the placement of one or two hydrophilic, alkoxy groups at the C-2 and/or C-7 position of the acridinium ring system of acridinium compounds increases their quantum yield and enhances the aqueous solubility of these compounds. The present hydrophilic, high quantum yield, acridinium compounds are useful chemiluminescent labels for improving the sensitivity of immunoassays.
本发明涉及亲水性高量子产率的吖啶类化合物。已经发现,在吖啶环系中引入电子供体基团可以增加相应吖啶化合物在碱性过氧化物引发的化学发光时所发射的光量。更具体地,发现在吖啶环系的C-2和/或C-7位置引入一个或两个亲水性的烷氧基团可以增加吖啶类化合物的量子产率并提高这些化合物的水溶性。本发明的亲水性高量子产率的吖啶类化合物是用于提高免疫分析灵敏度的有用化学发光标记。
