Compounds that exhibit aggregation induced emission (AIE), and more particularly to water-soluble conjugated polyene compounds that exhibit aggregation induced emission. The conjugated polyene compounds can be used as bioprobes for DNA detection, G-quadruplex identification, and potassium-ion sensing. The polyenes also can be utilized as an external fluorescent marker to study conformational structures, to monitor folding processes of label-free oligonucleotides with G-rich strand sequences, and to visualize DNA bands in PAGE assay. The polyenes have applications in high-throughput anticancer drug screening and are useful for the development of efficient anti-cancer drugs. Furthermore, the present subject matter can also be used to monitor fibrillation of amyloid proteins and to facilitate the storage and delivery thereof.
本发明涉及表现聚集诱导发光(AIE)的化合物,更具体地涉及表现聚集诱导发光的水溶性共轭多烯化合物。这些共轭多烯化合物可用作生物探针,用于DNA检测、G-四链体识别和钾离子感应。此外,这些多烯化合物还可用作外部荧光标记物,用于研究构象结构,监测无标记寡核苷酸与G富含链序列的折叠过程,并在PAGE测定中可视化DNA带。这些多烯化合物在高通量抗癌药物筛选中具有应用价值,并可用于开发高效的抗癌药物。此外,本发明还可用于监测淀粉样蛋白的纤维化,并促进其储存和传递。
