Peptoids and polyamines going sweet: Modular synthesis of glycosylated peptoids and polyamines using click chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Sugar moieties are present in a wide range of bioactive molecules. Thus, having versatile and fast methods for the decoration of biomimetic molecules with sugars is of fundamental importance. The glycosylation of peptoids and polyamines as examples of such biomimetic molecules is reported here. The method uses Cu-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition to promote the reaction of azidosugars with either polyamines or peptoids. In addition, functionalized nucleic acids were attached to polyamines via the same route. Based on a modular solid-phase synthesis of peralkynylated peptoids with up to six alkyne groups, the latter were modified with azidosugar building blocks by using copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloadditions. In addition, the up-scaling of some particular azide-modified sugars is described.

Modular synthesis of biologically active phosphatidic acid probes using click chemistry.

Project description:Phosphatidic acid (PA) is an important signaling lipid that plays roles in a range of biological processes including both physiological and pathophysiological events. PA is one of a number of signaling lipids that can act as site-specific ligands for protein receptors in binding events that enforce membrane association and generally regulate both receptor function and subcellular localization. However, elucidation of the full scope of PA activities has proven problematic, primarily due to the lack of a consensus sequence among PA-binding receptors. Thus, experimental approaches, such as those employing lipid probes, are necessary for characterizing interactions at the molecular level. Herein, we describe an efficient modular approach to the synthesis of a range of PA probes that employs a late stage introduction of reporter groups. This strategy was exploited in the synthesis of PA probes bearing fluorescent and photoaffinity tags as well as a bifunctional probe containing both a photoaffinity moiety and an azide as a secondary handle for purification purposes. To discern the ability of these PA analogs to mimic the natural lipid in protein-binding properties, each compound was incorporated into vesicles for binding studies using a known PA receptor, the C2 domain of PKCalpha. In these studies, each compound exhibited binding properties that were comparable to those of synthetic PA, indicating their viability as probes for effectively studying the activities of PA in cellular processes.

Modular synthesis of functional libraries by accelerated SuFEx click chemistry.

Project description:Accelerated SuFEx Click Chemistry (ASCC) is a powerful method for coupling aryl and alkyl alcohols with SuFEx-compatible functional groups. With its hallmark favorable kinetics and exceptional product yields, ASCC streamlines the synthetic workflow, simplifies the purification process, and is ideally suited for discovering functional molecules. We showcase the versatility and practicality of the ASCC reaction as a tool for the late-stage derivatization of bioactive molecules and in the array synthesis of sulfonate-linked, high-potency, microtubule targeting agents (MTAs) that exhibit nanomolar anticancer activity against multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines. These findings underscore ASCC's promise as a robust platform for drug discovery.

In situ synthesis of fluorescent membrane lipids (ceramides) using click chemistry.

Project description:Ceramide analogues containing azide groups either in the polar head or in the hydrocarbon chains are non-fluorescent. When incorporated into phospholipid bilayers, they can react in situ with a non-fluorescent 1,8-naphthalimide using click chemistry giving rise to fluorescent ceramide derivatives emitting at ?440 nm. When incorporated into giant unilamellar vesicles, two-photon excitation at 760 nm allows visualization of the ceramide-containing bilayers. This kind of method may be of general applicability in the study of model and cell membranes.

A Modular and Practical Synthesis of Zwitterionic Hydrogels through Sequential Amine-Epoxy "Click" Chemistry and N-Alkylation Reaction.

Project description:In this work, the amine-epoxy "click" reaction is shown to be a valuable general tool in the synthesis of reactive hydrogels. The practicality of this reaction arises due to its catalyst-free nature, its operation in water, and commercial availability of a large variety of amine and epoxide molecules that can serve as hydrophilic network precursors. Therefore, hydrogels can be prepared in a modular fashion through a simple mixing of the precursors in water and used as produced (without requiring any post-synthesis purification step). The gelation behavior and final hydrogel properties depend upon the molecular weight of the precursors and can be changed as per the requirement. A post-synthesis modification through alkylation at the nitrogen atom of the newly formed ?-hydroxyl amine linkages allows for functionalizing the hydrogels. For example, ring-opening reaction of cyclic sulfonic ester gives rise to surfaces with a zwitterionic character. Finally, the established gelation chemistry can be combined with soft lithography techniques such as micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC) to obtain hydrogel microstructures.

Convergent synthesis of a steroidal antiestrogen-mitomycin C hybrid using "click" chemistry.

Project description:A convergent synthesis of a novel estrogen receptor-targeted drug hybrid was developed based on structures of the potent anti-proliferative mitomycin C and the steroidal anti-estrogen RU 39411. The steroidal antiestrogen was prepared with an azido-triethylene glycoloxy linker while the mitomycin C derivative (porfirimycin) incorporated a complementary 7-N-terminal alkyne. The two components were ligated using the Huisgen [3 + 2] cycloaddition ("click") reaction. Preliminary biological assays demonstrated that the final hybrid compound retained both potent anti-estrogenic and anti-proliferative activities.

Expedient Synthesis of SMAMPs via Click Chemistry.

Project description:A novel series of synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides (SMAMPs) containing triazole linkers were assembled using click chemistry. While only moderately active in buffer alone, an increase in antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was observed when these SMAMPs were administered in the presence of mouse serum. One compound had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 0.39 μg/mL and 6.25 μg/mL, respectively, and an HC50 of 693 μg/mL. These values compared favorably to peptide-based antimicrobials. A correlation between the net positive charge and SMAMP antimicrobial activity was observed. The triazole linker, an amide surrogate, was found to provide better antimicrobial activity against both S. aureus and E. coli when compared to other analogues.

Single-cell nascent RNA sequencing using click-chemistry unveils coordinated transcription

Project description:Transcription is the primary regulatory step in gene expression coordinating the coding and non-coding genomic regions across space and time. Divergent initiation of transcription from promoters and enhancers produces stable RNAs from genes and unstable RNAs from enhancers. Nascent RNA capture and sequencing assays simultaneously measure gene and enhancer activity from cell populations. However, the lack of single-cell resolved view of active transcription has left fundamental questions in gene regulation unanswered. In this study, we present scGRO-seq - a single-cell nascent RNA sequencing assay using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition - unveiling the coordinated regulation of dynamic transcription throughout the genome. scGRO-seq demonstrates the episodic nature of transcription and provides estimates of burst size and frequency by directly quantifying transcribing RNA polymerases. It reveals the co-transcription of functionally related genes and leverages the transcription of replication-dependent non-polyadenylated histone genes to elucidate cell-cycle dynamics. The single-nucleotide spatiotemporal resolution of scGRO-seq characterizes networks of enhancers and genes and indicates the bursting of transcription at super-enhancers before the activation of burst from associated genes. Our method offers insights into the dynamic nature of transcription, functional architecture of the genome, and serves as a powerful tool to investigate the role of the non-coding genome in gene regulation.

Click Chemistry Inspired Synthesis of Hydroxyanthracene Triazolyl Glycoconjugates.

Project description:Novel hydroxyanthracene-based terminal alkynes 3 and 5a/b were synthesized by the acetylide addition reaction at the 9,10-position of anthraquinone 1 under mild conditions. The developed alkynes 3, 5a, and 5b on Huisgen azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction with azido-sugars 6 in the presence of Cu(I) catalyst provided a series of triazole fasten hydroxyanthracene glycoconjugates 7, 8, and 9, respectively, in good yields. The representative compounds 9 and 7h were successfully deprotected under room-temperature conditions to liberate the corresponding free glycoconjugates 10 and 11, respectively. Further, structures of a few compounds were unmaliciously evidenced by their single-crystal X-ray.
