The rapid increase in disease prevalence in the world makes it extremely important to search for new or develop existing diagnostic methods, for example, chemiluminescent labeling used in immunodiagnostics. At present, acridinium esters are willingly used as chemiluminogenic fragments of labels. However, the search for new chemiluminogens that are particularly efficient is the main task of our studies. The density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent (TD) DFT methods were used to obtain thermodynamic and kinetic results concerning the chemiluminescence and competitive dark reactions, which indicated whether some of the scrutinized derivatives have better characteristics than the chemiluminogens used so far. Synthesis of these candidates for efficient chemiluminogens, followed by studies of their chemiluminescent properties, and ultimately in chemiluminescent labeling, are further steps to confirm their potential applicability in immunodiagnostics.
