Photoactivatable rhodamine derivative functionalized with a succinimidyl ester (NHS). The NHS functionality can be used to conjugate this caged rhodamine to amine containing compounds or biomolecules. The ortho-Nitroveratryloxycarbonyl (NVOC) cages can be removed upon irradiation with UV light, restoring the fluorescence of the base dye. NVOC has an absorption max at ~350 nm and has been shown to be cleaved at 350 nm, 405 nm and 420 nm.
An amine-reactive caged rhodamine was synthesized and conjugated to aminodextran. The resulting tracer was injected into a single cell zebrafish embryo, and a portion of the tracer was photolyzed in a single cell after development. The resulting fluorescent cell was
