Synthesis of a fluorogenic cyclooctyne activated by Cu-free click chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Cyclooctyne-based probes that become fluorescent upon reaction with azides are important targets for real-time imaging of azide-labeled biomolecules. The concise synthesis of a coumarin-conjugated cyclooctyne, coumBARAC, that undergoes a 10-fold enhancement in fluorescence quantum yield upon triazole formation with organic azides is reported. The design principles embodied in coumBARAC establish a platform for generating fluorogenic cyclooctynes suited for biological imaging.

A Mild, Large-Scale Synthesis of 1,3-Cyclooctanedione: Expanding Access to Difluorinated Cyclooctyne for Copper-Free Click Chemistry.

Project description:We report the large-scale synthesis of 1,3-cyclooctanedione in five steps with 29% yield. This molecule is a synthetic precurser to difluorinated cyclooctyne, which participates in a bioorthogonal copper-free click reaction with azides. The final step demonstrates the first successful application of the Wacker-Tsuji oxidation to form a cyclic 1,3-dione.

A hydrophilic azacyclooctyne for Cu-free click chemistry.

Project description:Biomolecules labeled with azides can be detected through Cu-free click chemistry with cyclooctyne probes, but their intrinsic hydrophobicity can compromise bioavailability. Here, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a novel azacyclooctyne, 6,7-dimethoxyazacyclooct-4-yne (DIMAC). Generated in nine steps from a glucose analogue, DIMAC reacted with azide-labeled proteins and cells similarly to cyclooctynes. However, its superior polarity and water solubility reduced nonspecific binding, thereby improving the sensitivity of azide detection.

Rapid Cu-free click chemistry with readily synthesized biarylazacyclooctynones.

Project description:Bioorthogonal chemical reactions, those that do not interact or interfere with biology, have allowed for exploration of numerous biological processes that were previously difficult to study. The reaction of azides with strained alkynes, such as cyclooctynes, readily forms a triazole product without the need for a toxic catalyst. Here we describe a biarylazacyclooctynone (BARAC) that has exceptional reaction kinetics and whose synthesis is designed to be both modular and scalable. We employed BARAC for live cell fluorescence imaging of azide-labeled glycans. The high signal-to-background ratio obtained using nanomolar concentrations of BARAC obviated the need for washing steps. Thus, BARAC is a promising reagent for in vivo imaging.

Copper-Free Click for PET: Rapid 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions with a Fluorine-18 Cyclooctyne.

Project description:The strain-promoted click 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions involving azides and cyclooctynes for the synthesis of triazoles offer the advantage of being able to be performed in biological settings via copper-free chemistries. While strained reagents conjugated to optical dyes and radiometal conjugates have been reported, cyclooctyne reagents labeled with fluorine-18 ((18)F) and radiochemically evaluated in a copper-free click reaction have yet to be explored. This report describes the conversion of a bifunctional azadibenzocyclooctyne (ADIBO) amine to the (18)F-labeled cyclooctyne 4, the subsequent fast copper-free 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with alkyl azides at 37 °C (>70% radiochemical conversion in 30 min), and biological evaluations (serum stability of >95% at 2 h). These findings demonstrate the excellent reactivity of the (18)F-labeled cyclooctyne 4 with readily available azides that will allow future work focusing on rapid copper-free in vitro and in vivo click chemistries for PET imaging using (18)F-labeled cyclooctyne derivatives of ADIBO.

Novel Liposomal Azido Mannosamine Lipids on Metabolic Cell Labeling and Imaging via Cu-Free Click Chemistry.

Project description:In comparison with the popular Ac4ManNAz applied as cell labels via Cu-free click chemistry, two novel azido mannosamine lipids with C6 and C12 esters on anomeric hydroxyl groups were prepared and encapsulated in a liposome delivery system, which enhanced chemical stabilities and showed good cell-metabolizable labeling efficiency on MDA-MB-231 cells with strong fluorescence after the treatment of DBCO-Cy5 by triazole formation via click chemistry.

Strain-Promoted Catalyst-Free Click Chemistry for Rapid Construction of (64)Cu-Labeled PET Imaging Probes.

Project description:A rapid, efficient, and catalyst-free click chemistry method for the construction of (64)Cu-labeled PET imaging probes was reported based on the strain-promoted aza-dibenzocyclooctyne ligation. This new method was exemplified in the synthesis of (64)Cu-labeled RGD peptide for PET imaging of tumor integrin ?v?3 expression in vivo. The catalyst-free click chemistry reaction proceeded with a fast rate and eliminated the contamination problem of the catalyst Cu(I) ions interfering with the (64)Cu radiolabeling procedure under the conventional Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition condition. The new strategy is simple and robust, and the resultant (64)Cu-labeled RGD probe was obtained in an excellent yield and high specific activity. PET imaging and biodistribution studies revealed significant, specific uptake of the "click" (64)Cu-labeled RGD probe in integrin ?v?3-positive U87MG xenografts with little uptake in nontarget tissues. This new approach is versatile, which warrants a wide range of applications for highly diverse radiometalated bioconjugates for radioimaging and radiotherapy.

The facile synthesis of multifunctional PAMAM dendrimer conjugates through copper-free click chemistry.

Project description:The facile conjugation of three azido modified functionalities, namely a therapeutic drug (methotrexate), a targeting moiety (folic acid), and an imaging agent (fluorescein) with a G5 PAMAM dendrimer scaffold with cyclooctyne molecules at the surface through copper-free click chemistry is reported. Mono-, di-, and tri-functional PAMAM dendrimer conjugates can be obtained via combinatorial mixing of different azido modified functionalities simultaneously or sequentially with the dendrimer platform. Preliminary flow cytometry results indicate that the folic acid targeted nanoparticles are efficiently binding with KB cells.

Copper-free click chemistry in living animals.

Project description:Chemical reactions that enable selective biomolecule labeling in living organisms offer a means to probe biological processes in vivo. Very few reactions possess the requisite bioorthogonality, and, among these, only the Staudinger ligation between azides and triarylphosphines has been employed for direct covalent modification of biomolecules with probes in the mouse, an important model organism for studies of human disease. Here we explore an alternative bioorthogonal reaction, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and cyclooctynes, also known as "Cu-free click chemistry," for labeling biomolecules in live mice. Mice were administered peracetylated N-azidoacetylmannosamine (Ac(4)ManNAz) to metabolically label cell-surface sialic acids with azides. After subsequent injection with cyclooctyne reagents, glycoconjugate labeling was observed on isolated splenocytes and in a variety of tissues including the intestines, heart, and liver, with no apparent toxicity. The cyclooctynes tested displayed various labeling efficiencies that likely reflect the combined influence of intrinsic reactivity and bioavailability. These studies establish Cu-free click chemistry as a bioorthogonal reaction that can be executed in the physiologically relevant context of a mouse.
