Abstract

A compound represented by the following general formula: wherein R1 and R2 represent amino groups present at adjacent positions each other on the phenyl ring; R3, R4, R5 and R6 independently represent a C1-6 alkyl group; R7, R8, R9 and R10 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a C1-6 alkyl group, an allyl group, or a halogen atom; R11 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-18 alkyl group; and X− represents an anion, and an agent for nitric oxide measurement comprising said compound.The compound efficiently reacts with nitric oxide to give a fluorescent compound that emits strong fluorescence by irradiation with excitation light of a long wavelength. This fluorescent compound is characterized in that said compound is detectable in a fluorescence wavelength range hardly influenced by autofluorescence of cells, and its fluorescence intensity is not attenuated under an acidic condition.
