Cyclic nucleoside monophosphates (cNMPs) play key roles in many cellular regulatory processes, such as growth, differentiation, motility, and gene expression. Caged derivatives that can be activated by irradiation could be powerful tools for studying such diverse functions of intracellular second messengers, since the spatiotemporal dynamics of these molecules can be controlled by irradiation with appropriately focused light. Here we report the synthesis, photochemistry, and biological testing…

Visible-to-NIR-Light Activated Release: From Small Molecules to Nanomaterials
TLDR
This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide).
Design, Synthesis, and Photochemical Properties of Clickable Caged Compounds.
TLDR
A method is reported for the synthesis of clickable caged compounds that can be modified easily with various functional units via the copper(I)-catalyzed Huisgen cyclization, which exhibits a high photolysis efficiency compared to those of the conventional 2-nitrobenzyls.
Optopharmacological control of TRPC channels by coumarin-caged lipids is associated with a phototoxic membrane effect
TLDR
A commonly used caged ligand approach is tested for suitability to investigate TRPC signaling at the level of membrane conductance and cellular Ca2+ handling and the observed light-induced membrane effects of the released caging moiety may well interfere with certain cellular functions.

Spectral evolution of a photochemical protecting group for orthogonal two-color uncaging with visible light.
TLDR
The design logic behind the development of a diethylaminocoumarin (DEAC) caging chromophore, DEAC450, that absorbs blue light strongly and violet light 11-fold more weakly is described, which helps modulate the neuronal firing rate in a bidirectional way.
The synthesis and photolysis mechanisms of 8-nitroquinoline-based photolabile caging groups for carboxylic acid
Photolabile protecting groups have been extensively studied and applied for protection of small biological molecules, which make it convenient to detect the biological processes of the caged…
New photochemical tools for time-resolved structural studies
TLDR
A new class of protein photo cleavable crosslinking reagents was designed and synthesised which decouples the protein activation step from the protein chemistry being investigated, and a novel negative feedback mechanism for pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis regulation in bacteria was discovered and proposed.
Biochemical characterization and cellular imaging of a novel, membrane permeable fluorescent cAMP analog
TLDR
The novel analog combines good membrane permeability- comparable to 8-Br-cAMP – with superior spectral properties of a modern, red-shifted fluorophore and is a potent, PDE-resistant activator of PKA-I and -II, suitable for in vitro applications and spatial distribution evaluations in living cells.

TLDR
These compounds are the most efficient and rapid phototriggers of 8bromo‐substituted cyclic nucleotides known and exhibit long‐wavelength absorption properties with maxima at 400 nm, high extinction coefficients, and high quantum yields.

TLDR
It is shown that brominated 7-hydroxycoumarin-4-ylmethyl esters and carbamates efficiently release carboxylates and amines on photolysis, with one- and two-photon cross sections up to one or two orders of magnitude better than previously available.
Acyloxycoumarinylmethyl-caged cAMP, the photolabile and membrane-permeable derivative of cAMP that effectively stimulates pigment-dispersion response of melanophores.
TLDR
Two acyloxycoumarinylmethyl-caged cAMPs (ACM- and PCM-cAMP) have been synthesized using a silver (I) oxide promoted method and a significant enhancement in the motility responses was observed.
Deactivation behavior and excited-state properties of (coumarin-4-yl)methyl derivatives. 2. Photocleavage of selected (coumarin-4-yl)methyl-caged adenosine cyclic 3',5'-monophosphates with fluorescence enhancement.
TLDR
The highest values of photochemical quantum yields were obtained with caged cAMPs having a donor substituent in the 7-position of the coumarin moiety, caused by electronic stabilization of the intermediately formed coumarinylmethyl cation.
Photolysis of caged cyclic AMP in the ciliary cytoplasm of the newt olfactory receptor cell
TLDR
The observation that the cells were stimulated by long steps of either odour or light, the odorant‐induced current showed stronger decay than the light‐induced response, suggesting that the molecular system regulating desensitization is situated upstream of cAMP production.
New photoactivatable cyclic nucleotides produce intracellular jumps in cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP concentrations
TLDR
New, substituted photolabile cyclic nucleotide analogues, the 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl esters of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, are designed, synthesized and characterized and should permit intracellular ‘concentration jumps’ of cycling AMP or cyclicGMP to be produced in cells under physiological investigation with spatial and temporal resolution unmatched by conventional techniques.
Photo-mediated gene activation using caged RNA/DNA in zebrafish embryos
TLDR
It is shown that uncaging eng2a in the head region during early development causes a severe reduction in the size of the eye and enhanced development of the mid brain and the midbrain-hindbrain boundary at the expense of the forebrain.
Coumarin-4-ylmethoxycarbonyls as phototriggers for alcohols and phenols.
TLDR
The 6-bromo-7-hydroxycoumarin-4-ylmethoxycarbonyl (Bhcmoc) group has the highest photochemical efficiency and is applied to make caged compounds of 1,2-dioctanoylglycerol (diC(8), Tyr-OMe, and adenosine.
Cell-permeant caged InsP3 ester shows that Ca2+ spike frequency can optimize gene expression
TLDR
Oscillations in cytosolic free calcium levels at roughly physiological rates maximize gene expression for a given amount of InsP3, and this derivative diffused into intact cells and was hydrolysed to produce a caged, metabolically stable InsP 3 derivative.
