Abstract: A new class of alpha-cyanomethine and alpha-cyanopolymethine dyes is provided having moieties which serve for the covalent attachment to biological substrates and resulting in the fluorescent labeling of the substrates. The labeled substrates are useful in analytical techniques for the detection and measurement of biological and clinical compounds of interest. Of particular interest is a class of methine molecules which are non-fluorescent in buffer solutions but intensely fluoresce when they enter a cell.

Abstract: A novel chromogenic substrate to peroxidase enzymes is provided which is comprised of a mixture of a colorless mixture of two compounds, such as, 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone and 2-hydroxy-2,4,6-cycloheptatrienone, which undergo an oxidative coupling in the presence of peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide forming a purple indamine dye. Under certain circumstances the dye will precipitate out from the buffered solution and thus provide a permanent record of the determination. The mixture is also stable and unaffected by oxygen of the air or by hydrogen peroxide.
