A novel coumarin-based highly water-soluble photocleavable protective group was designed and synthesized, and then this photosensitive protecting group was used to design paclitaxel prodrugs. These novel paclitaxel conjugates demonstrated excellent water solubility, over 100mgmL(-1). Thus, the use of a detergent in the formulation can be omitted completely, even at high doses. Phototaxel 11 released the parent drug, paclitaxel, quickly and efficiently by minimal tissue-damaging 365nm UV light irradiation at low power, while laser activation at 355nm led to extensive decomposition of the prodrug. The carbamate-type prodrug, phototaxel 11, was stable in the dark prior to activation, whereas carbonate-type phototaxel 9 demonstrated poor stability under aqueous conditions. For such prodrugs, tumor-tissue targeting after administration could be achieved by selective light delivery, similar to that used in photodynamic therapy. In addition, newly designed coumarin derivative 8 can be applied in organic chemistry as a photosensitive protective group and for the design of caged compounds.
