Quaternary benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids—novel cell permeant and red fluorescing DNA probes
4 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Quaternary benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids (QBAs) are naturally occurring compounds isolated from plants in the Fumariaceae, Papaveraceae, Ranunculaceae, and Rutaceae families. In addition to having a wide range of biological activities, they are also attractive for their fluorescent properties. We observed interesting fluorescent characteristics in the QBAs-macarpine (MA), sanguirubine (SR),...
