Photoswitchable Probes of Oxytocin and Vasopressin
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2023 Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) are related neuropeptides that regulate many biological processes. In humans, OT and VP act via four G protein-coupled receptors, OTR, V1aR, V1bR, and V2R (VPRs), which are associated with several disorders. To investigate the therapeutic potential of these receptors, particularly in the receptor-dense areas of the ...

On/Off Photoswitching of the Electropolymerizability of Terthiophenes [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2008 In this contribution the polymerization of terthiophene, to form an alkene bridged alpha,alpha-coupled sexithiophene polymer, is controlled by light; i.e. the electropolymerizability of the monomer 1F is switched off and on with UV and visible light, respectively. The system comprises of both bis-terthiophene and photochromic dithienylethene units. The
