Saudi Electricity has patented a method for live-cell imaging using catenane compositions. The method involves contacting a cell with a catenane, irradiating the cell, and detecting exciplex emission from the catenane within the cell. The catenane comprises two mechanically interlocked macrocycles with aromatic fluorophores arranged for emission.

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11977028B2) discloses a method for live-cell imaging using a catenane compound. The method involves contacting a cell with a catenane containing two mechanically interlocked macrocycles, each comprising an aromatic fluorophore subunit arranged in a face-to-face [p . . . p] stack. Upon irradiation of the cell, exciplex emission from the catenane is detected, allowing for live-cell imaging.

Specific embodiments of the method include the catenane containing an anthracene subunit, an anthracene-bypyridine subunit, or a 2,6-anthracene-bypyridine subunit. The effective amount of the catenane used is less than 10×10-6 M, and the detected emission has a wavelength greater than 600 nm. Additionally, the cell is irradiated with a wavelength less than 500 nm, and the catenane is octacationic. The method can be performed in vitro, and a specific catenane mentioned is 2,6AnHC8+. These claims outline the specific parameters and components of the method for live-cell imaging using the described catenane compound.
