Abstract: The present invention provides dyes and labeled reagents that may be used in the detection or quantification of desirable target molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids and cellular organelles. Dyes are provided that may be used free in solution where the binding of the dye to the target molecule provides signal generation. Dyes provided in this invention can comprise reactive groups that may be used to attach the dyes to probes that will bind to desirable target molecules. The novel dyes of the present invention have been substituted with specific groups to provide beneficial properties.

Abstract: Provided are compounds, methods and kits for identifying in cells of interest organelles including nuclei and a wide variety of organelles other than nuclei (non-nuclear organelles), as well as cell regions or cell domains. These compounds and methods can be used with other conventional detection reagents for identifying the location or position or quantity of organelles and even for distinguishing between organelles in cells of interest.

Abstract: The present invention relates to 9-substituted adenine derivatives represented by formula (I) wherein W is selected from the group consisting of H, halogen, azido and amino group; X is selected from the group consisting of O, S, N(H), CH2, CH and C; Y is selected from the group consisting of H, hydroxy, C1-4 alkyl, C1-4 alkoxy and halogen; R is selected from the group consisting of H, hydroxymethyl, C1-4 alkyl, and C1-4 alkoxy; R1is selected from the group consisting of O, NH and CH2; R2represents a radical selected from the group consisting of —(CH2)n—S—C(O)—R4 and —(CH2)n—S—S—R4, where n=1-4 and R4is a C1-4-alkyl or aryl group and R4 is optionally substituted with a halogen, amino, N-alkylamino, N, N-dialkylamino or C1-4 alkoxy group and wherein each of the R2radicals may be the same or different; and R3is O or S. The derivatives are useful as prodrugs for inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and lowering 3?:5?-cAMP in cells, thereby inhibiting adenylyl cyclase dependent effects within cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to 9-substituted adenine derivatives that inhibit adenylyl cyclase in cells but have little or no effect on isolated adenylyl cyclase. The derivatives are useful as prodrugs for inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and lowering 3′:5′-cAMP in cells, thereby inhibiting adenylyl cyclase dependent effects within cells.
