摘要
The synthesis, photochemistry, and biological application of 1-acyl-5-methoxy-8-nitro-1,2-dihydroquinoline (MNDQ-caged carboxylic acid) are described. Optimization experiments were carried out on three acetyl derivatives (3a-c), and the most appropriate analogue for application to the caging of glutamate was determined to be 3c. Thus, a MNDQ-caged glutamate (MNDQ-Glu) was synthesized, and the photochemical release of glutamate by uncaging of MNDQ-Glu was confirmed by NMR, MS, and HPLC analysis. When MNDQ-Glu was tested with pyramidal neurons in hippocampal slices, whole-field UV illumination resulted in a large inward current due to the release Of L-glutamate. A short two-photon uncaging of MNDQ-Glu at single dendritic spines induced a transient current that exhibited similar kinetic properties to miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSC).
