Scheme 1

Schematic representation of organelle‐specific uncaging. Lipid messengers are equipped with an alkyne‐containing photocaging group and functionalized with targeting groups that localize them to specific compartments in living cells, where the active compounds can subsequently be photoreleased (uncaged) without initially affecting the messenger levels in neighboring compartments.
