Two-photon uncaging with fluorescence reporting: evaluation of the o-hydroxycinnamic platform.

چکیده
This paper evaluates the o-hydroxycinnamic platform for designing efficient caging groups with fluorescence reporting upon one- and two-photon excitation. The model cinnamates are easily prepared in one step by coupling commercial or readily available synthons. They exhibit a large one-photon absorption that can be tuned in the near-UV range. Uncaging after one-photon excitation was investigated by 1H NMR, UV-vis absorption, and steady-state fluorescence emission. In the whole investigated series, the caged substrate is quantitatively released upon photolysis. At the same time, uncaging releases a strongly fluorescent coproduct that can be used as a reporter for quantitative substrate delivery. The quantum yield of double bond photoisomerization leading to uncaging after one-photon absorption mostly lies in the 10% range. Taking advantage of the favorable photophysical properties of the uncaging coproduct, we use a series of techniques based on fluorescence emission to measure the action uncaging cross sections with two-photon excitation of the present cinnamates. Exhibiting values in the 1-10 GM range at 750 nm, they satisfactorily compare with the most efficient caging groups reported to date. Noticeably, the uncaging behavior with two-photon excitation is retained in vivo as suggested by the results observed in living zebrafish embryos. Reliable structure property relationships were extracted from analysis of the present collected data. In particular, the careful kinetic analysis allows us to discuss the relevance of the o-hydroxycinnamic platform for diverse caging applications with one- and two-photon excitation.

o-nitrobenzyl photolabile protecting groups with red-shifted absorption: syntheses and uncaging cross-sections for one- and two-photon excitation.
We evaluated the o-nitrobenzyl platform for designing photolabile protecting groups with red-shifted absorption that could be photolyzed upon one- and two-photon excitation. Several synthetic pathways to build different conjugated o-nitrobenzyl backbones, as well as to vary the benzylic position, are reported. Relative to the reference 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl group, several o-nitrobenzyl de...
متن کاملRelease and report: a new photolabile caging system with a two-photon fluorescence reporting function.
A new efficient photocaging system with a fluorescence reporting function has been developed. The photolabile latch is based on adducts of C-nucleophiles with aromatic ketones, such as thioxanthones and xanthones. The system is designed to quantify the release of biological effectors and to monitor their spatial distribution and localization by single- and two-photon fluorescence microscopy. In...
