The presently-disclosed subject matter relates to analyte-activated photolabile compounds. The compounds include the formula: wherein Z includes a maskable molecule; L is selected from a bond, C, C(O), O, alkyl, (O)alkyl, and alkoxy; R 1 is selected from H, halogen, alkyl, and acyl; each R 2 is independently selected from H, alkyl, aryl, and acyl, and is optionally substituted with one or more heteroatoms independently selected from COOH and COO(alkyl); and R 3 is selected from H, alkyl, aryl, halogen, CN, OH, O(alkyl), O(aryl), SH, S(alkyl), S(aryl), amine, CHO, COOH, COO(alkyl), COO(aryl), PO 3 H 2 , and SO 3 H, and is optionally substituted with one or more heteroatoms independently selected from N, O, and S, halogen, OH, O(alkyl), O(aryl), SH, S(alkyl), S(aryl), amine, NO 2 , CHO, COO, COOH, COO(alkyl), COO(aryl), C(O)NR 2 , PO 3 H 2 , and/or SO 3 H. Also provided are methods of detecting calcium and treating a subject with the analyte-activated photolabile compounds. |
