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.
表现出聚集诱导发光(AIE)特性的化合物,更具体地说是表现出聚集诱导发光特性的水溶性共轭聚烯烃化合物。这些共轭聚烯烃化合物可用作DNA检测的生物探针、G-四链体识别和钾离子感知。这些聚烯烃还可用作外部荧光标记物,用于研究构象结构,监测不带标签的富含G链序列的寡核苷酸的折叠过程,并在PAGE分析中可视化DNA条带。这些聚烯烃在高通量抗癌药物筛选中具有应用,并有助于开发高效的抗癌药物。此外,目前的主题还可用于监测淀粉样蛋白的纤维化,并促进其存储和传递。
