Multiple drug resistant fungi pose a serious threat to human health, therefore the development of completely new antimycotics is of paramount importance. The in vitro antifungal activity of the original,...

Amino-isocyanoacridines (ICAAcs), as first members of their class, turned out to be a novel, multifunctional acridine orange (AO) type dye family with a number of additional favorable properties. They have...

The specially designed chemical structure of our recently developed solvatochromic amino-isocyanonaphthalene (ICAN) dye family enables the selective detection of Hg and at the same time is able to indicate the...

Fluorescence time-lapse microscopy is in connection with the invasive properties of fluorochrome applied, and with the toxicity of the excitation energy and wavelength of the dye itself. Experiments with the...

The recently synthesized isocyanonaphtalene derivatives ACAIN and CACAIN are fluorochromes excitable at wavelengths of around 366 nm and bind cysteine-rich proteins with hydrophobic motifs. We show that these compounds preferentially...

Mono- and dialkylated derivatives of 1-amino-5-isocyanonaphthalene (ICAN) were studied as new members of a multifunctional, easy-to-prepare fluorophore family, which showed excellent solvatochromic properties. The monoallyl derivative and the starting ICAN...
