Abstract

See full text

Fluorescent, calcium-binding probe compounds having visible-light excitation and emission wavelengths, and a method of usage for these probe compounds in making wavelength-ratiometric or intensity-ratiometric measurements of calcium ion concentration in samples. The probe compounds generally relate to a heterocyclic part as bonded to a Ca.sup.2+ binding unit, namely, BAPTA, via an ethylenically unsaturated group; preferred examples of the heterocyclic group include benzothiazole, naphthothiazole, thiaflavin, indolenine, chloroindolenine, methoxybenzothiazole, and methoxyindolenine.
