Abstract
We designed and synthesized two novel photocaged peroxide compounds, N5TBHP and N6TBHP, featuring nitrogen-containing fused ring coumarin skeletons. Notably, a tetrahydroquinoline fused coumarin derivative, N6TBHP demonstrated significantly higher photocleavage efficiency under visible light at 455 nm compared to N5TBHP, which contains an indoline fused coumarin. This process effectively releases the oxidative stress inducer tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP). Additionally, N6TBHP exhibits high resistance to glutathione (GSH), and its UV spectral analysis suggests enhanced intracellular stability due to reduced reactivity with GSH through self-assembly. Furthermore, N6TBHP can release an optimal amount of TBHP into cells under visible light irradiation with minimal cell damage. These properties position N6TBHP as a promising tool for advancing research in intracellular redox signaling.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
