9-Phenylacridine, also known as 9-PA, is an aromatic heterocyclic compound found in a variety of plants. It is used in a variety of scientific research applications, including as a fluorescent dye, a fluorescent probe, and a fluorescent tag. It is also employed to study the structure and function of proteins, and to detect and quantify DNA and RNA. 9-Phenylacridine absorbs light in the visible region of the spectrum and emits light in the near-infrared region. The fluorescence is dependent on the pH of the solution, with the highest fluorescence occurring at pH 7.0. The fluorescence of 9-Phenylacridine can also be quenched by the presence of certain compounds, such as metal ions, amino acids, and nucleic acids.
