meta-Aminoazobenzene as a thermo-insensitive photo-regulator of DNA- duplex formation

meta-Aminoazobenzene has been introduced in the side chain of oligonucleotides as a photo-responsive molecule. Compared with the para- aminoazobenzene which was previously used, the thermal cis→trans isomerization was much slower: the half-lives of the ci

Rational Remodeling of Atypical Scaffolds for the Design of Photoswitchable Cannabinoid Receptor Tools

Azobenzene-embedded photoswitchable ligands are the widely used chemical tools in photopharmacological studies. Current approaches to azobenzene introduction rely mainly on the isosteric replacement of typical azologable groups. However, atypical scaffolds may offer more opportunities for photoswitch remodeling, which are chemically in an overwhelming majority. Herein, we investigate the rational remodeling of atypical scaffolds for azobenzene introduction, as exemplified in the development of photoswitchable ligands for the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2). Based on the analysis of residue-type clusters surrounding the binding pocket, we conclude that among the three representative atypical arms of the CB2 antagonist, AM10257, the adamantyl arm is the most appropriate for azobenzene remodeling. The optimizing spacer length and attachment position revealed AzoLig 9 with excellent thermal bistability, decent photopharmacological switchability between its two configurations, and high subtype selectivity. This structure-guided approach gave new impetus in the extension of new chemical spaces for tool customization for increasingly diversified photo-pharmacological studies and beyond.

Tuning of Bistability, Thermal Stability of the Metastable States, and Application Prospects in the C3-Symmetric Designs of Multiple Azo(hetero)arenes Systems

Light-responsive molecular systems with multiple photoswitches in C3-symmetric designs have enormous application potential. The design part of such molecular systems is critical due to its influence in several properties associated with the photoswitches. In order to tune, and in the evaluation of the design–property relationship, we synthesized 18 tripodal systems with variations in the core, linkers, connectivity, and azo(hetero)arene photoswitches. Through extensive spectroscopic and computational studies, we envisaged the factors controlling near-quantitative photoisomerization in both the directions (bistability) and the thermal stability of the metastable states. Furthermore, we also evaluated the impact of designs in obtaining reversible photo-responsive sol-gel phase transitions, solvatochromism, photo- and thermochromism.

Azobenzene-benzoylphenylureas as photoswitchable chitin synthesis inhibitors

Benzoylphenylureas (BPUs) are used as synthetic insect growth regulators for inhibiting chitin synthesis. Merging insecticidal BPUs with photoswitchable azobenzene generated photoresponsive chitin synthesis inhibitors. A prepared azobenzene-benzoylphenylurea can be activated upon irradiation with UV light, and shows 6-fold and 2-fold activity difference to armyworm (Mythimna separata) and German cockroach (Blattella germanica) sulfonylurea receptors, respectively. This is the first example of a photoswitchable BPU insecticide. The generation of such a photoresponsive BPU insecticide allows for modulation of the insecticidal activity by light, and may facilitate the spatiotemporal control over the sulfonylurea receptor and the mechanistic study of this kind of insecticide.

Connectivity matters-ultrafast isomerization dynamics of bisazobenzene photoswitches

We have investigated the ultrafast dynamics of o-, m- and p-bisazobenzenes, which represent elementary building blocks for photoswitchable multiazobenzene nanostructures. The connectivity pattern within bisazobenzenes and the ensuing complex interactions between the individual azobenzene units determines the ultrafast dynamics of these compounds and their photochemical properties. While retaining a relatively high E → Z isomerization quantum yield, o-bisazobenzene exhibits a very high thermal relaxation rate (half-life of 1.6 ms). Our theoretical calculations reveal that the geometry allows intramolecular excitonic interaction between the azobenzene units, which is reflected in the femtosecond transient absorption data via the simultaneous bleaching of the two excitonic bands. In contrast, the properties of m-bisazobenzene are very similar to the monomeric azobenzene, with the two units acting nearly independently from each other. The highest degree of π conjugation extending over the two azobenzene units was observed for p-bisazobenzene, which results in strong planarity of the molecule, reduced excited state lifetime and relatively low isomerization quantum yield. Multiphotochromic systems bridge the gap between molecular photoswitches and macroscopic function and thus, understanding the properties of bisazobenzenes opens the way to the design and development of new structures with extensive and versatile applications.
