A naphthalimide-based [12]aneN₃ compound as an effective and real-time fluorescence tracking non-viral gene vector

Abstract

A novel bifunctional naphthalimide-based [12]aneN3 compound 1 was successfully applied as an effective non-viral gene vector in cancer cells, the fluorescence properties of 1 clearly demonstrated the process of cellular uptake, DNA translocation and release based on real-time fluorescence tracking.
