Patent ID: 10407399

Abstract:
The presently-disclosed subject matter relates to analyte-activated photolabile compounds. The compounds include the formula: wherein Z includes a maskable molecule; L is selected from a bond, C, C(O), O, alkyl, (O)alkyl, and alkoxy; R1 is selected from H, halogen, alkyl, and acyl; each R2 is independently selected from H, alkyl, aryl, and acyl, and is optionally substituted with one or more heteroatoms independently selected from COOH and COO(alkyl); and R3 is selected from H, alkyl, aryl, halogen, CN, OH, O(alkyl), O(aryl), SH, S(alkyl), S(aryl), amine, CHO, COOH, COO(alkyl), COO(aryl), PO3H2, and SO3H, and is optionally substituted with one or more heteroatoms independently selected from N, O, and S, halogen, OH, O(alkyl), O(aryl), SH, S(alkyl), S(aryl), amine, NO2, CHO, COO, COOH, COO(alkyl), COO(aryl), C(O)NR2, PO3H2, and/or SO3H. Also provided are methods of detecting calcium and treating a subject with the analyte-activated photolabile compounds.
