| Abstract: | The present invention relates to substituted 3-methylbenzo[d]thiazol-3-ium compounds of the general formula I and their nucleic acid conjugates, complexes, salts which are potentially useful for cell imaging applications, diagnostics, fluorescent tags, pharmaceuticals and other useful molecular biology applications, and a process of preparing said new compounds. More particularly, the present invention relates to 3-methyl-2-((2-substituted-1-phenylquinolin-4(1H)ylidene)methyl)-benzo[d]thiazol-3-ium compounds, processes for preparing the said compounds and their uses for detection of nucleic acids in fluorescence-based imaging and/or analysis. Specifically, the present invention pertains to a new, dual-function DNA gel stain Compound 1, which serves as an effective nucleic acid stain, demonstrating high sensitivity and affinity towards a range of nucleic acids, including genomic DNA, PCR products, plasmids, and RNA. Additionally, Compound 1 enhances Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) processes by providing improved Relative Fluorescence Units (RFU) values and enabling the amplification of larger targets. Uniquely, Compound 1 does not necessitate any special or hazardous waste disposal procedures, making it a safer and more environmentally sustainable choice for laboratories. | ||
