Two new families of fluorescent probe, acridones and quinacridones, whose fluorescence lifetime can be altered to produce a range of lifetimes from 3 ns to 25 ns are described. Both families of fluorophore have fluorescence lifetimes which are unaffected by pH in the range of 5 to 9 and show a marked resistance to photobleaching. The probes have been modified to allow them to be attached to biomolecules and the labelling of a neuropeptide (substance P) is described. The labelled peptides have the same fluorescence lifetime as the free fluorophore. Quinacridone, with an emission around 550 nm offers a long fluorescence lifetime, photostable alternative to fluorescein.
