Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a reactive ester agent for conjugating a click-reactive group to a carrier molecule or solid support. The reactive ester agent has the general formula IA, wherein the variables R1, R2, R3, Ra and L are described throughout the application.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods, compositions and kits for measuring cellular nascent nucleic acid synthesis by colorimetric labeling of nucleic acid. The nucleic acid synthesis can be measured as cell proliferation, DNA or RNA synthesis, gene expression or apoptosis. Additionally, these methods may be used to screen compounds for their effect on cellular proliferation by treating cells or an organism with the test compound simultaneous to or before treatment with a competitive nucleoside analog.
Abstract:
Described herein are compounds, methods, and kits for short- and long-term tracking of cell proliferation, differentiation, and/or function. The compounds disclosed herein are coumarin-based cell-tracking reagents that fluoresce in the blue portion of the UV/VIS spectrum and provide bright fluorescence intensity, uniform cell staining, good retention within cells and low toxicity toward cells.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compounds, compositions, methods, and kits for detecting reactive oxygen species (ROS) by conventional fluorescence microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, flow cytometry, and/or high content imaging. The compounds disclosed herein are novel reduced dyes, including Cy-based hydrocyanine dyes and Cy-based deuterocyanine dyes, which dyes are probes for detecting ROS and measuring oxidative stress in cells either in vitro and/or in vivo. Also described herein are processes for preparing novel reduced dyes, i.e., ROS probes, for use in the disclosed compositions, methods and kits.
