Neuroactive amino acids derivatised at their carboxylate groups with a photolabile nitroindolinyl group are highly effective reagents for the sub-µs release of neuroactive amino acids in physiological solutions. However, the same does not apply in the case of calcium ion chelators. In this study, nitroindolinyl-caged BAPTA is found to be completely photostable, whereas nitroindolinyl-caged EDTA photolyses only when saturated with calcium ions.
经光不稳定的硝基吲哚啉基团衍生的羧基化神经活性氨基酸是在生理溶液中实现亚微秒级神经活性氨基酸释放的高效试剂。然而,对于钙离子螯合剂则并非如此。在这项研究中,发现硝基吲哚啉笼状 BAPTA 完全光稳定,而只有当被钙离子饱和时,硝基吲哚啉笼状 EDTA 才会发生光解。
