  • Fluorescent boron-substituted dipyrromethenes and use thereof for diagnosis
    Patent number: 8993781
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel fluorescent compounds derived from non-fluorinated dipyrromethene-boron, to a method for preparing same and to the use thereof for the fluorescent marking of biological molecules. The invention also relates to biological molecules marked with said fluorescent compounds, and to the use thereof in detection methods such as medical diagnosis methods. More particularly, the detection methods of the invention are particularly useful for diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
