Acridines are organic compounds and nitrogen heterocycles having the formula C13H9N. Acridine is a substituted derivative of the parent ring. It is a planar molecule structurally related to anthracene in which one carbon in the central CH group is replaced by nitrogen. Acridine and its derivatives can be used to make dyes and also used in the pharmaceutical industry. Acridine is a DNA intercalator that easily binds to DNA. Due to its DNA-intercalating properties, acridine or its suitable derivatives are expected to preferentially accumulate in tumors, which are always associated with enhanced DNA replication. Therefore, radiolabeled acridines may have prospect in tumor imaging.
Organic light emitting diodes (devices) or OLEDs are monolithic solid-state devices that typically consist of a series of organic thin films sandwiched between two thin film conductive electrodes. It is a display technology used in many electronic devices, such as smartphones, televisions, and wearables. In an OLED display, each pixel is made up of organic compounds that emit light when an electric current passes through them. Unlike traditional LCD displays, this eliminates the need for a backlight. As a result, OLED displays can achieve deeper blacks and higher contrast ratios, leading to vibrant and more realistic images.
