    摘要: The present invention relates generally to the detection and measurement of transmembrane potentials using an asymmetric thiobarbituric acid-derived polymethine oxonol (shown below). In particular, the present invention is directed to compositions and optical methods for determining transmembrane potentials across the plasma membrane of biological cells using a moderately hydrophobic asymmetric thiobarbituric acid-derived polymethine oxonols. The method comprises a moderately hydrophobic asymmetric thiobarbituric acid-derived polymethine oxonol anion capable of redistributing from a first face of the membrane to a second face of the membrane in response to changes in the potential of the membrane. In one aspect the method is used to identify compounds which modulate membrane potentials in biological membranes. wherein R1, R2, and R3 are (a) independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, haloalkyl and heteroalkyl, and (b) R1, R2 and R3 are not simultaneously methyl; n is an integer from 1 to 3; Z is Na, K, ammonium or other biologically acceptable salt.
