Phospholipid 1a bearing 2-nitrobenzyl ester moieties as a photocleavable group at the terminal of alkyl chains was synthesized from the corresponding terminal carboxy-bearing phospholipid 2 by the reaction with 2-nitrophenyl-substituted diazomethane. Phospholipid, 1b bearing α-methyl-2-nitrobenzyl group, 1c bearing 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl group, and 1d bearing α-methyl-4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl group were similarly synthesized by the use of the respective diazo compounds. The order of photolysis rates of 2-nitrobenzyl ester linkage of phospholipids by ultrahigh-pressure mercury lamp is 1b ≥ 1d > 1a > 1c. Liposomes of 1a—1d containing calcein in the inner aqueous layer were prepared by vortexing, sonication, and gel-filtration. UV irradiation resulted in fast release of the entrapped fluorescence dye. The order of release rates : 1b ≥ 1d > 1c > 1a is consistent with that of photolysis rates except for 1c, which has poor retention of the dye.
合成了具有2-硝基苯甲酯基团的磷脂1a,该基团作为光分解基团位于烷基链的末端,通过与2-硝基苯基取代的叠氮甲烷反应,从对应的末端羧基含量磷脂2合成。磷脂1b(具有α-甲基-2-硝基苯甲基基团)、1c(具有4,5-二甲氧基-2-硝基苯甲基基团)和1d(具有α-甲基-4,5-二甲氧基-2-硝基苯甲基基团)也同样通过相应的叠氮化合物合成。通过超高压汞灯光分解的磷脂中2-硝基苯甲酯键的光解速率顺序为1b ≥ 1d > 1a > 1c。通过涡旋、超声波和凝胶过滤法制备了含有钙黄绿素的磷脂1a—1d的内水相的脂质体。紫外照射导致被捕获的荧光染料快速释放。释放速率的顺序为:1b ≥ 1d > 1c > 1a,这与光解速率的顺序一致,除了1c,其染料的保持效果较差。
