Abstract
The bioactivity of natural, long-chain ceramides has until now been studied after its delivery to cells in organic solvent mixtures containing dodecane. We have synthesized ceramides conjugated to a (6-bromo-7-hydroxycoumarin-4-yl)methyl group. The photocaged ceramide is efficiently released with 350 nm light in aqueous solution at neutral pH, thus providing a promising new tool to study ceramide's properties.Entities:
