Abstract: This invention relates to a method for detecting cancer cells in a subject. The method includes contacting a plurality of cells in a sample obtained from the subject with carbazole compounds of the following formula: and calculating the percentage of the cells that emit florescence upon irradiation with an excitation light, in which, if the percentage is above a pre-set value, the subject is determined to contain cancer cells. In the above formula, each of rings A and B, independently, is heteroaryl containing at least one nitrogen atom; each of X and Y, independently, is CH or N; each of R1—R6, independently, is H, C1-C8 alkyl, C2-C8 alkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, C3-C8 heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, OH, C1-C6 alkoxy, aryloxy, heteroaryloxy, NH2, C1l-C6 alkylamino, C1-C12 dialkylamino, arylamino, diarylamino, or halogen; R7 is H, C1-C8 alkyl, C2-C8 alkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, C3-C8 cycloalkyl, C3-C8 heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl; and each of m and n, independently, is 1, 2, or 3.
