title: Synthesis and evaluation of a photolyzable derivative of sphingosine 1-phosphate--caged SPP.
abstract: The synthesis of a photolyzable sphingosine 1-phosphate derivative is reported via the reaction of N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-N,3-O- isopropylidenesphingosine 7 and bis(alpha-methyl-o-nitrobenzyl) N,N-diisopropyl-phosphoramidite. Stimulation of DNA synthesis upon illumination of caged SPP-loaded cells is also described.
