Fig. 2. Synthesis and characterization of OCT-PEA. (a) Chemical synthesis of OCT-PEA. (b) UV-VIS absorbance scan showing a time-course of OCT-PEA (20 μM in DMSO) uncaging with 365 nm LED irradiation. A rightward (bathochromic) shift in the main absorbance peak (λmax) was observed as illumination generated the uncaged species. (c) Absorbance at 360 nm over time of OCT-PEA (20 μM in DMSO) uncaging with 365 nm LED (black), 405 nm (magenta), 470 nm (blue), and 565 nm (green) LEDs. N = 3 samples for each. Shaded error bars = mean ± SEM.
