Summary:[Display omitted] •We synthesized three photoreactive cardiolipins (pCLs), that possess an unstable diazirine ring at different positions.•For synthesis of phosphoramidite intermediate, we use a catalytic amount of 1H-tetrazole and MS 4A to get a good yield.•The pCLs-reconstituted liposomes induced significantly high peroxidase activities of cyt c.•We confirmed that the pCLs synthesized in this study are promising CL mimics for photoaffinity labeling experiments. The photoaffinity labeling technique using photoreactive cardiolipin (CL) is a powerful means for investigating the molecular mechanism of the formation of a specific cytochrome c–cardiolipin complex. Using phosphoramidite chemistry, we synthesized three photoreactive CLs, that possess an unstable diazirine ring at different positions; that is, the acyl chain in the sn-1 or sn-2 position and the central glycerol moiety.
