The invention relates generally to optical agents, including phototherapeutic agents, for biomedical applications, including phototherapy. The invention includes optical agents, and related therapeutic methods, comprising oxaza compounds, including 1,2 oxaza heterocyclic compounds, having a photolabile N-O bond directly or indirectly linked to at least one carbocyclic aromatic and/or heterocyclic aromatic group. In some embodiments, for example, the invention provides oxaza compounds, such as oxazolines and isoxazolidines, for phototherapeutic methods having a photolabile N-O bond that undergoes photoactivated cleavage to produce reactive species, such as radicals, ions, etc., that achieve a desired therapeutic effect, such as selective and/or localized tissue damage and/or cell death.
