摘要

In photoreactive caged compounds, a molecule of interest is covalently coupled to a protection group, making it functionally inactive. Upon irradiation, the molecule of interest is released and becomes active to perform biological functions. Caged neurotransmitters are of increasing interest in the neuroscience community. Despite the significant progress in biological optical and irradiation (lasers) techniques and equipment, caged neurotransmitters remain challenging to synthesize, and their mechanism of photolysis stays ambiguous.;Our initial approach was to improve the synthesis of 4-carboxymethoxy-5,7-dinitroindolinyl (CDNI) Glu, as previously established by the Ellis-Davies and Corrie groups. By combining several deprotection steps and tweaking the procedure, we shortened the synthesis from 150 hours to just 24 hours, while improving the overall yields. The improved synthetic method for nitrated caged compounds enabled us to make and characterize caged GABA and acyl analogues. Subsequently, we designed and synthesized other novel cages such as di-caged-Glu, di-Glu and di-GABA cages to address phototoxicity and solubility issues commonly reported in nitrated cages.;We also compared the kinetics of several caged neurotransmitters by conventional UV-Vis studies, and developed a quantitative 1H NMR method for relative kinetics. While allowing for a small sample size for analysis, the UV-Vis technique was ambiguous because of overlapping absorbance spectra in certain caged molecules and remnant cages upon photolysis. The 1H NMR method yielded more detailed kinetic data, and was correlated to the UV-Vis method. The ratio of the rate constants for the photolysis of CDNI-Glu vs. MNI-Glu was 1.3 for both UV-Vis and NMR methods; the ratio of reaction rates was 7.0 for the NMR method. HPLC purified samples were successfully tested on brain slices using two-photon microscopy.;To further investigate the mechanism of photolysis, theoretical studies were conducted on CDNI-Glu. Most previous mechanistic reports made assumptions that neglect the effect of the CDNI side chains and nature of the neurotransmitter. We successfully studied the mechanism of photolysis of CDNI-Glu in aqueous and organic media at the B3LYP 6-31G* level of density functional theory (DFT). Key controversial pathways (organic vs. aqueous, long vs. short range rearrangements) were compared and found to be thermodynamically plausible; these were also correlated to our experimental UV-Vis and NMR kinetics results.
