Synthesis and photochemical release mechanism of caged AEA. A, Synthesis and structures of the caged AEA molecules, N-CmNb-arachidonoylethanolamide (4b) and N-(mPEG-CmNb)-arachidonoylethanolamide (6). B, Photorelease of AEA from caged AEA. Light absorption by caged AEA generates the short-lived aci-nitro intermediate, which decomposes into the spent cage and free AEA.
