Abstract
AbstractIn this work, we developed a water‐soluble caging group based on a π‐extended BODIPY scaffold able to release carboxylate‐containing cargo upon red light illumination (λirr=633 nm). We performed mechanistic studies showing new insights into the principles of the photoreactivity of these cages and demonstrated a significant influence of the structure of a carboxylate cargo on the rate and efficiency of the uncaging process and its side reactions. We used it for selective delivery, visualisation, and photorelease of a signaling lipid in cell plasma and internal membranes. With this approach, we successfully induced Ca2+ release in cells expressing the GPR40 receptor.
