The present disclosure embodies compounds of Formula I, methods of use thereof, and kits thereof:  that are useful in connection with the detection of analytes of all types (e.g., biological molecules such as proteins, organic molecules, natural or synthetic molecules). The disclosure is particularly applicable to detection of proteins and nucleic acids using all types of membrane-based assays by techniques such as Western blotting, Dot blotting, Southern blotting, and Northern blotting.

Hemicyanine dyes

A method for organ imaging, comprising: administering to a subject a diagnostic effective amount of 2-((E)-2-((E)-3-(2-((E)-3,3-dimethyl-5-sulfonato-1-(4-sulfonatobutyl)indolin-2-ylidene)ethylidene)-2-phenoxycyclohex-1-en-1-yl)vinyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(4-sulfonatobutyl)-3H-indol-1-ium-5-sulfonate or 2-((E)-2-((E)-3-(2-((E)-3,3-dimethyl-5-sulfonato-1-(4-sulfonatobutyl)indolin-2-ylidene)ethylidene)-2-(4-sulfonatophenoxy)cyclohex-1-en-1-yl)vinyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(4-sulfonatobutyl)-3H-indol-1-ium-5-sulfonate. In one embodiment, the organ includes one or more of kidney, bladder, liver, gall bladder, spleen, intestine, heart, lungs and muscle.

IR dyes for fluorescence imaging

Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to improved processes for making L-ornithine phenylacetate without using any silver salts or forming any L-ornithine intermediate salts, such as a benzoate salt. The present processes may be used in the commercial scale manufacturing of L-ornithine phenylacetate with high yields and low impurities.

Processes of making L-ornithine phenylacetate

Polymorphs of Formula I, which is 2-((E)-2-((E)-3-(2-((E)-3,3-dimethyl-5-sulfonato-1-(4-sulfonatobutyl)indolin-2-ylidene)ethylidene)-2-phenoxycyclohex-1-en-1-yl)vinyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(4-sulfonatobutyl)-3H-indol-1-ium-5-sulfonate and methods of making are provided. A method for organ imaging, comprising administering to a subject, a diagnostic effective amount of a composition comprising a polymorph of Formula I are also provided. In one embodiment, the organ includes one or more of kidney, bladder, ureter, urethra, bile ducts, liver, and gall bladder.
