The present invention relates to photolabile or photoreleasable compounds including a caging moiety linked to an effector moiety, wherein the compounds are capable of releasing the effector moiety on irradiation, typically by flash irradiation with light. These compounds are particularly suitable for focal 2-photon uncaging The photoreleasable compounds can be used to deliver effector moieties such as carboxylic acids, preferably, neuroactive amino acids to sites where their activity is required. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the caging moiety is based on 4-carboxymethoxy-5,7-dinitroinlinyl and derivatives thereof.
本发明涉及光敏可解离化合物或光释放化合物,包括与效应基团相连的笼合基团,其中该化合物能够在照射下释放效应基团,通常是通过光闪烁照射。这些化合物特别适用于局部2-光子解离。光释放化合物可用于将效应基团,如羧酸,优选地是神经活性氨基酸,输送到需要其活性的位置。在本发明的优选实施例中,笼合基团基于4-羧甲氧基-5,7-二硝基咪唑基和其衍生物。
