Photolysis of a protecting group for the carboxyl function of neurotransmitters within 3 microseconds and with product quantum yield of 0.2.

Abstract:

:The synthesis of a photosensitive blocking group for the carboxyl function of neurotransmitters, in this case glycine, is reported. The compound, 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl glycine ester (caged glycine), is photolyzed by a laser pulse at 308 or 337 nm within 3 microseconds and with a product quantum yield of 0.2. The compound is hydrolyzed in water with a time constant tau of 6.1 min at pH 7.1 and 3 hr at pH 4.0. Mouse cerebral cortical neurons containing glycine receptors were used in biological assays. A cell-flow device, in which solutions of caged glycine at pH 4.0 were mixed with buffer to give a final pH of 7.1, was used to equilibrate the compound with receptors on the cell surface. Neither the caged compound nor the 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenol photolysis product affected the glycine receptors or modified their response to glycine. When cells equilibrated with caged glycine are irradiated by a laser pulse at 337 nm, glycine receptor channels are opened, as detected in whole-cell current recordings. The approach described may be used in the synthesis and characterization of photolabile precursors of neurotransmitters and other compounds that contain carboxyl groups and for kinetic investigations of neurotransmitter receptors in central nervous system cells in the microsecond time domain.
