Abstract(in English) Recently, optical nerve stimulation is intensively developed and it is expected to realize high-density nerve stimulation which is difficult by electrical stimulation. Photoswitch with photoactive molecule called BENAQ or DENAQ provides photoresponsiveness to nerve cells. In this study, we performed cytotoxicity test of Nitroazobenzene S1 as a starting substance used for synthesis of BENAQ, and then investigate purity required for the BENAQ synthesis process. In the culture with 10 μmol/L-Nitroazobenzene S1 in the medium, the number of colony formation significantly decreased compared with it cultured only with medium, at significance level 5%. Therefore, it is necessary that the residual concentration of Nitroazobenzene S1 remaining in 100 μmol/L-BENAQ as maximum effect for the retina of rd1 mouse retina is less than 10 μmol/L. For BENAQ synthesis, purity of 90% or more is required for purification of Nitroazobenzene S1.
