Dapoxyl dye

Dapoxyl Dye Library and Human Serum Protein Sensor... 

Dapoxyl dyes are highly environment-sensitive fluorescent compounds. Their fluorescence in water is very low, but induces a large change of fluorescence intensity, Stokes shifts, and extinction coefficients depending on pH and polarity of solvents.

In conclusion, two combinatorial dapoxyl dye libraries were synthesized in both solution and solid phase methods and a fluorescence-based screening identified the highly sensitive and selective binding dye (A41-S) toward site I of HSA, demonstrating that this dapoxyl dye library has a great potential to sense macromolecules with fluorescence intensity changes.
