The β-carboline moiety, substituted at the C1 and C3 benzylic positions with a leaving group, has been demonstrated for the first time as a photoremovable protecting group for time-dependent sequential release of two (same or different) carboxylic acids upon one- and two-photon light irradiation. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the electronic environment of the β-carboline moiety at C1 and C3 positions plays a key role in the rate of photorelease.Erythrocyte-derived particles activated by near-infrared (NIR) light
