Abstract:
Methods are described and related devices, compositions, and systems, in which a caged compound is administered to a biological environment, the caged compound being caged with a long wavelength absorber, the long wavelength being a wavelength greater than or equal to 750 nm; and irradiating the biological environment to excite the long wavelength absorber with light at a wavelength in a range from 900-1100 nm, thus decaging the compound.
Abstract:
A photoacid compound having a light absorbing moiety attaching a payload moiety through a linker, in which the linker comprises a geminal dialkyl linked to a carbonyl group attaching the payload moiety, and the linker is configured to present the carbonyl oxygen for reaction with a hydroxyl group presented on the light absorbing moiety in ortho position to the linker.
