Abstract: Naphthalimide compounds as used in tissue bonding and protein cross-linking applications. When activated by an activating agent, such as light in the 400-500 nm absorption range, the naphthalimide compounds form chemically-reactive species that cross-link proteins, bond connective tissues together, and bone tissues and other biomaterials together. A naphthalimide-labeled biomolecule, such as a naphthalimide-labeled chitosan, is also capable of bonding tissues without subsequent direct illumination of the contacted tissue area. The naphthalimide compounds may be used in tissue or arterial repair, stabiliation of an expanded arterial wall after angioplasty, tethering pharmaceutical agents to tissue surfaces to provide local drug delivery, and for chemically bonding skin care products, sunscreens, and cosmetics to the skin.

Abstract: A class of predominantly hydrophilic 1,8-naphthalimide dyes. The dye contains at least two 1,8-naphthalimide ring systems, joined by a spacer moiety. Each of the 1,8-naphthalimide ring system has a ring nitrogen atom and bears, at the 4 position, an amino nitrogen atom, carrying a hydrogen. The remaining unsatisfied valences, if present, of the ring nitrogen atoms or the amino nitrogen atoms, or all, are occupied by one or more alkyl substituents. Each of the 1,8-naphthalimide ring system is free of an azo substituent and is also free of a nucleofuge. Upon activation by an activating agent in an environment independent of the presence or absence of oxygen, these compounds generate activated species. The activated species can cause structural changes in lipid and any associated proteins and polypeptides, extra- or intra-cellular or transmembrane, leading to polymerization and crosslinking.
