Popis: The most efficient and commonly used electrochemilumi-nescence (ECL) emitters are luminol, [Ru(bpy)3]2+ and derivatives thereof. Luminol stands out due to its low excitation potential, yet applications are limited by the insolubility under physiological conditions. The water-soluble m-carboxy luminol was synthesized in 15% yield and exhibited high solubility under physiological conditions and afforded a four-fold ECL signal increase (vs. luminol). Entrapment in DNA-tagged liposomes enabled a DNA assay with a detection limit of 3.2 pmol L-1 which is 150 times lower than the corresponding fluorescence approach. This remarkable sensitivity gain and the low excitation potential establish m-carboxy luminol as a superior ECL probe with direct relevance to chemiluminescence and enzymatic bioanalytical approaches.
