Japanese Patent JP3172522

B2

In accordance with the present invention, specific binding assays are disclosed which utilize an chemiluminescent compound, i.e., moiety, which has increased stability in aqueous solution. The chemiluminescent moiety is an ester, thioester or amide in which the ester, thioester or amide linkage is between (1) a heterocyclic ring or ring system containing a carbon atom to which the linkage is attached, wherein the heteroatom within the heterocyclic ring or ring system is in an oxidation state which renders such carbon atom susceptible to attack by peroxide or molecular oxygen to form an intermediate which decays to produce chemiluminescence, and (2) an aryl ring or ring system. The aryl ring or ring system contains at least one substituted six-member ring. The substituted six-member ring has two or more substituent groups, where at least two of said two or more substituent groups sterically hinder hydrolysis of said linkage. One or more of the substituent groups which sterically hinder hydrolysis of said linkage may be an electron withdrawing group. The substituted six-member ring may have one or more additional substituent groups in addition to the substituent groups which sterically hinder hydrolysis of the linkage. Such additional substituent groups may also be an electron withdrawing group. The carbon atom in the heterocyclic ring or ring system, to which the linkage is attached, may also have a secondary substituent of the formula RnX-, where X is selected from the group consisting of O, N, S and C, where R is any group, and where n is a number such that X has proper valency. Other chemiluminescent moieties are disclosed which are characterized by a heterocyclic ring or ring system and a secondary substituent of the formula RnX-, with the ester, thioester or amide linkage being between the heterocyclic ring or ring system and a leaving group. The disclosed chemiluminescent moieties can also include substituents at peri positions within the heterocyclic ring or ring system. Also in accordance with the present invention, compositions including and assay kits incorporating such chemiluminescent moieties are disclosed.
