DNA sensing always has an open meadow of curiosity for biotechnologists and other researchers. Recently, in this field, we have introduced an emerging class of molecules containing azo and guanidine functionalities. In this study, we have synthesized three new compounds ( UA1 ,  UA6  and  UA7 ) for potential application in DNA sensing in alcoholic medium. The synthesized materials were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-visible,  1 H NMR and  13 C NMR spectroscopies. Their DNA sensing potential were investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy. The insight of interaction with DNA was further investigated by electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry) and hydrodynamic (viscosity) studies. The results showed that compounds have moderate DNA binding properties, with the binding constants range being 7.2 × 10 3 , 2.4 × 10 3  and 0.2 × 10 3  M −1 , for  UA1 ,  UA6  and  UA7 , respectively. Upon binding with DNA, there was a change in colour (a blue shift in the  λ  max  value) which was observable with a naked eye. These results indicated the potential of synthesized compounds as DNA sensors with detection limit 1.8, 5.8 and 4.0 ng µl −1  for  UA1 ,  UA6  and  UA7 , respectively.
