Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aiming at the development of new benzopyran-based photocleavable protecting groups, novel chloromethylated and hydroxymethylated 2-oxo-2H-benzo[h]benzopyran derivatives bearing a methoxy substituent were designed and used in the synthesis of a series of fluorescent bioconjugates, by linking through an ester or urethane bond to several model neurotransmitter amino acids (glycine, alanine, beta-alanine and gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA). The resulting fluorescent bioconjugates with emission in the visible range and high fluorescent quantum yields, were subjected to photocleavage reaction in methanol/HEPES buffer (80:20) solution at different wavelengths of irradiation (250, 300, 350 and 419 nm) and photocleavage kinetic data were obtained.
