Due to UV light-induced cell damage, photoremovable protecting groups (PPGs) that can be removed using visible or near-infrared light have gained attention. A novel PPG, 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-indolyl-3-methyl chromophore (NPIM), was synthesized. Various compounds were protected using this PPG and then deprotected using visible or near-infrared light. The low cytotoxicity of NPIM suggests its potential application in physiological studies.

A 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-indolyl-3-methyl chromophore (NPIM) was synthesized as a novel PPG. Various compounds were caged using this PPG and uncaged using visible or near-infrared light. Low cytotoxicity of NPIM indicates that it may be applied in physiological studies.
