[摘要]：Areas covered: In this review, acridine-based functional molecules and patents of acridine derivatives filed from 2009 to 2010 are discussed. The latest information about the medical importance of new acridine-based molecules is also discussed (e.g., materials with sensing and electrical/thermal properties). Expert opinion: The tricyclic aromatic heterocyclic structure of acridine has a lot of potential for biological and material utilization. The versatility of fluorescent acridines could be further enhanced by introducing amino-acid chains or other polar substituents on the central moiety, which due to increased water solubility could increase their effectiveness under physiological conditions. |
