ABSTRACT:
The present invention describes a method of staining mitochondria, and analyzing mitochondrial function, using a class of fluorescent substituted 3',6'-diaminoxanthenes and their reduced analogs 3',6'-diaminodihydroxanthenes, which are oxidized to the fluorescent form of the dye in situ. In their oxidized form, the dyes selectively localize within mitochondria. The dyes of the invention are substituted by an alkylating group that allows their retention in mitochondria even after cell death, fixation, and permeabilization.
