Bioactivity | BHQ-O-5HT is a light-activated caged 5-HT protected by a BHQ group. When exposed to light at 365 or 740 nm, BHQ-O-5HT releases 5-HT through 1 or 2 photon excitation, respectively. BHQ-O-5HT can be manipulated in space and time to explore the role of 5-HT in regulating mood, appetite, memory, learning, and other cognitive functions[1]. |
