purpose: to image leukocyte adherence to the vascular endothelium and extravasation into surrounding tissues in neovascularized corneas using acridine orange, a selective dna stain, in rats methods: corneal neovascularization was induced by placing two sutures in the cornea of one eye of 12 long-evans rats. one week later, acridine orange (4 mg/kg) was injected via the tail vein and the eyes we...

Selenium can have cancer chemopreventive activity, although the mechanism of action has not been well defined. Selenazolidine-4-(R)-carboxylic acids (SCAs) were devised as prodrugs of L-selenocysteine, to provide selenium in a form and at a concentration commensurate with cancer chemopreventive activity. In the present study, a series of selenazolidines has been evaluated in the Salmonella typh...

Vaginal exudates from 105 patients were examined by direct wet-mount microscopy and acridine orange stain for the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis. Both procedures demonstrated greater than 90% agreement in both sensitivity and specificity. When specimens can be examined immediately after collection, it appears that wet-mount microscopy is almost as sensitive as acridine orange staining for de...

The title compound, C(13)H(9)N·0.75H(2)O was obtained during a study of the polymorphic system of acridine, by slow evaporation from an ethanol-water solution. There are two acridine mol-ecules (indicated by I and II, respectively) and one and a half water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The half-mol-ecule of water is located on a crystallographic twofold axis. The crystal structure is built...

The molecular photophysics of 10-phenyl-10 H ,10? -spiro[acridine-9,9?-anthracen]-10?-one (ACRSA) are used as an ideal molecule to probe how external factors affect the TADF and rISC mechanisms.

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(15)H(13)ClNO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), the meth-oxy groups are nearly coplanar with the acridine ring system, making dihedral angles of 0.4 (2) and 5.1 (2)°. Multidirectional π-π contacts between acridine units are observed in the crystal structure. N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link cations and anions, forming a layer structure.
