Page/Page column 26-28, (2010/04/28)
Novel photo-activated protecting groups, photo-activatable groups, and methods for their synthesis and use are described. The photo-activated protecting groups are useful in making photo-activatable forms, i.e., inactive proforms, of compounds that can be activated in situ, for example, for initiating chemical reactions upon photo-activation or providing an inactive proform of a therapeutic agent to a subject and photo-activating the therapeutic agent at a selected area of the subject. Also disclosed are methods for administering a photo-activatable compound to a subject then activating the compound at a selected area of the subject by exposing that area to light.
