1-Aminoanthracene is a fluorophore, which functions as a polarity sensitive hydrophobic probe useful in the identification of protein cavities. Studies indicate that 1-Aminoanthracene can potentiate GABAergic transmission and bind to anesthetic site in horse spleen apoferritin (HSAF). These studies suggest that 1-Aminoanthracene is beneficial in tracking the distribution of anesthetics at the cellular and subcellular levels. This compound could also reversibly inhibit the mobility of Xenopus tadpoles. Furthermore the fluorescence ability of the compound makes it useful in imaging studies, displaying localization in neuronal tissues.
