Chemical Structure
Acridine Orange base
- CAS No.: 494-38-2
- Formula:C17H19N3
- Molecular Weight:265.36
IUPAC Name: N3,N3,N6,N6-tetramethylacridine-3,6-diamine
InChIKey: DPKHZNPWBDQZCN-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: CN(C)C1=CC=C2C(N=C3C=C(N(C)C)C=CC3=C2)=C1
Biological Activity: Acridine Orange base is a cell-permeable fluorescent dye that stains organisms (bacteria, parasites, viruses, etc.) bright orange and, when used under appropriate conditions (pH=3.5, Ex=460 nm), distinguishes human cells in green for detection by fluorescence microscopy. Acridine Orange base fluoresces green when bound to dsDNA (Ex=488, Em=520-524) and red when bound to ssDNA (Ex=457, Em=630-644) or ssRNA (Ex=457, Em=630-644), also can be used in cell cycle assays[1][2][3].
