Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed a Donor-π-Donor (D-π-D) based coumarin derivative. Its two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section was determined to be 498 GM at 700 nm by two-photon excited fluorescence method. The two-photon uncaging efficiency of D-π-D based caged benzoic acid was also determined to be 134 GM at 700 nm, which indicates relatively high two-photon responsive chromophore. In addition, we investigated the detail mechanism of bond cleavage steps in the uncaging reaction of caged benzoic acid. The laser flash photolysis experiments and product analysis suggested the presence of methyl cation intermediate which indicated the heterolysis of C-O bond.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
既存の7-ジエチルアミノクマリン骨格の3位に2重結合を持つ電子供与基部位を導入することで、比較的高い2光子吸収断面積を付与することができた。今後、D-π-D型クマリン誘導体を基盤骨格とする光解離性保護基を用いたケージド化合物を開発することで、低毒性かつ生体透過性の高い近赤外領域の2光子励起を用いて生物活性物質の濃度上昇を時空間的に制御することができる。こうした技術を応用することによって、生体深部における疾患部位の回復や、脳内における神経伝達物質の機能解明に繋がると期待される。
