Lipid pools as photolabile "protecting groups": design of light-activatable bioagents.

ABSTRACT: Inactive in the membrane: Lipidated light-responsive constructs that sequester bioagents (R, see scheme) to the membranes of organelles and cells have been constructed. When membrane-bound, the bioagent is not susceptible to processing by its biological target. Photolysis releases the bioagent from its membrane anchor and thereby renders it biologically active.

Thiol-Substituted Poly(2-oxazoline)s with Photolabile Protecting Groups-Tandem Network Formation by Light.

Project description:Herein, we present a novel polymer architecture based on poly(2-oxazoline)s bearing protected thiol functionalities, which can be selectively liberated by irradiation with UV light. Whereas free thiol groups can suffer from oxidation or other spontaneous reactions that degrade polymer performance, this strategy with masked thiol groups offers the possibility of photodeprotection on demand with spatio-temporal control while maintaining polymer integrity. Here, we exploit this potential for a tandem network formation upon irradiation with UV light by thiol deprotection and concurrent crosslinking via thiol-ene coupling. The synthesis of the novel oxazoline monomer 2-{2-[(2-nitrobenzyl)thio]ethyl}-4,5-dihydrooxazole (NbMEtOxa) carrying 2-nitrobenzyl-shielded thiol groups and its cationic ring-opening copolymerization at varying ratios with 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOxa) is described. The tandem network formation was exemplarily demonstrated with the photoinitator 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone (HMPP) and pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETA), a commercially available, tetrafunctional vinyl crosslinker. The key findings of the conducted experiments indicate that a ratio of ~10% NbMEtOxa repeat units in the polymer backbone is sufficient for network formation and in-situ gelation in N,N-dimethylformamide.

Synthesis of fluorous photolabile aldehyde and carbamate and alkyl carbamate protecting groups for carbohydrate-associated amines.

Project description:Two new fluorous photolabile-protecting groups (FNBC and FNB) and a new base-labile protecting group (FOC) for the masking of amines are reported. The protecting groups survive a wide range of common reaction conditions used in oligosaccharide synthesis and render the attached molecules amenable to fluorous solid-phase extraction (FSPE). A glycosyl acceptor containing the FNB group is shown to be useful in the synthesis of carbohydrates tagged with free deactivated secondary amines.

Next-Generation o-Nitrobenzyl Photolabile Groups for Light-Directed Chemistry and Microarray Synthesis.

Project description:Light as an external trigger is a valuable and easily controllable tool for directing chemical reactions with high spatial and temporal accuracy. Two o-nitrobenzyl derivatives, benzoyl- and thiophenyl-NPPOC, undergo photo-deprotection with significantly improved efficiency over that of the commonly used NPPOC group. The two- and twelvefold increase in photo-deprotection efficiency was proven using photolithograph synthesis of microarrays.

Computational Design, Synthesis, and Photochemistry of Cy7-PPG, an Efficient NIR-Activated Photolabile Protecting Group for Therapeutic Applications.

Project description:Photolabile Protecting Groups (PPGs) are molecular tools used, for example, in photopharmacology for the activation of drugs with light, enabling spatiotemporal control over their potency. Yet, red-shifting of PPG activation wavelengths into the NIR range, which penetrates the deepest in tissue, has often yielded inefficient or insoluble molecules, hindering the use of PPGs in the clinic. To solve this problem, we report herein a novel concept in PPG design, by transforming clinically-applied NIR-dyes with suitable molecular orbital configurations into new NIR-PPGs using computational approaches. Using this method, we demonstrate how Cy7, a class of NIR dyes possessing ideal properties (NIR-absorption, high molecular absorptivity, excellent aqueous solubility) can be successfully converted into Cy7-PPG. We report a facile synthesis towards Cy7-PPG from accessible precursors and confirm its excellent properties as the most redshifted oxygen-independent NIR-PPG to date (λmax =746 nm).

A Photolabile Carboxyl Protecting Group for Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis.

Project description:A new kind of photolabile protecting group (PLPG) for carboxyl moieties was designed and synthesized as the linker between resin and peptide. This group can be used for the protection of amino acid carboxyl groups. The peptide was synthesized on Nph (2-hydroxy-3-(2-nitrophenyl)-heptanoic acid)-derivatized resins and could be cleaved under UV exposure, thus avoiding the necessity for harsh acid-mediated resin cleavage. The PLPG has been successfully used for solid-phase synthesis of peptides.

Synthesis of Cyclic Peptides in SPPS with Npb-OH Photolabile Protecting Group.

Project description:Significant efforts have been made in recent years to identify more environmentally benign and safe alternatives to side-chain protection and deprotection in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Several protecting groups have been endorsed as suitable candidates, but finding a greener protecting group in SPPS has been challenging. Here, based on the 2-(o-nitrophenyl) propan-1-ol (Npp-OH) photolabile protecting group, a structural modification was carried out to synthesize a series of derivatives. Through experimental verification, we found that 3-(o-Nitrophenyl) butan-2-ol (Npb-OH) had a high photo-release rate, high tolerance to the key conditions of Fmoc-SPPS (20% piperidine DMF alkaline solution, and pure TFA acidic solution), and applicability as a carboxyl-protective group in aliphatic and aromatic carboxyl groups. Finally, Npb-OH was successfully applied to the synthesis of head-tail cyclic peptides and side-chain-tail cyclic peptides. Moreover, we found that Npb-OH could effectively resist diketopiperazines (DKP). The α-H of Npb-OH was found to be necessary for its photosensitivity in comparison to 3-(o-Nitrophenyl)but-3-en-2-ol (Npbe-OH) during photolysis-rate verification.

Light-activated RNA interference using double-stranded siRNA precursors modified using a remarkable regiospecificity of diazo-based photolabile groups.

Project description:Diazo-based precursors of photolabile groups have been used extensively for modifying nucleic acids, with the intention of toggling biological processes with light. These processes include transcription, translation and RNA interference. In these cases, the photolabile groups have been typically depicted as modifying the phosphate backbone of RNA and DNA. In this work we find that these diazo-based reagents in fact react very poorly with backbone phosphates. Instead, they show a remarkable specificity for terminal phosphates and very modest modification of the nucleobases. Furthermore, the photo deprotection of these terminal modifications is shown to be much more facile than nucleobase modified sites. In this study we have characterized this regiospecificity using RNA duplexes and model nucleotides, analyzed using LC/MS/MS. We have also applied this understanding of the regio-specificity to our technique of light activated RNA interference (LARI). We examined 27-mer double-stranded precursors of siRNA ('dsRNA'), and have modified them using the photo-cleavable di-methoxy nitro phenyl ethyl group (DMNPE) group. By incorporating terminal phosphates in the dsRNA, we are able to guide DMNPE to react at these terminal locations. These modified dsRNA duplexes show superior performance to our previously described DMNPE-modified siRNA, with the range of expression that can be toggled by light increasing by a factor of two.

Visible-Light-Mediated Oxidative Debenzylation Enables the Use of Benzyl Ethers as Temporary Protecting Groups.

Project description:The cleavage of benzyl ethers by catalytic hydrogenolysis or Birch reduction suffers from poor functional group compatibility and limits their use as a protecting group. The visible-light-mediated debenzylation disclosed here renders benzyl ethers temporary protective groups, enabling new orthogonal protection strategies. Using 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as a stoichiometric or catalytic photooxidant, benzyl ethers can be cleaved in the presence of azides, alkenes, and alkynes. The reaction time can be reduced from hours to minutes in continuous flow.

Oxime as a general photocage for the design of visible light photo-activatable fluorophores.

Project description:Photoactivatable fluorophores have been widely used for tracking molecular and cellular dynamics with subdiffraction resolution. In this work, we have prepared a series of photoactivatable probes using the oxime moiety as a new class of photolabile caging group in which the photoactivation process is mediated by a highly efficient photodeoximation reaction. Incorporation of the oxime caging group into fluorophores results in loss of fluorescence. Upon light irradiation in the presence of air, the oxime-caged fluorophores are oxidized to their carbonyl derivatives, restoring strong fluorophore fluorescence. To demonstrate the utility of these oxime-caged fluorophores, we have created probes that target different organelles for live-cell confocal imaging. We also carried out photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) imaging under physiological conditions using low-power light activation in the absence of cytotoxic additives. Our studies show that oximes represent a new class of visible-light photocages that can be widely used for cellular imaging, sensing, and photo-controlled molecular release.

Rapid one-pot iterative diselenide-selenoester ligation using a novel coumarin-based photolabile protecting group.

Project description:The development of an iterative one-pot peptide ligation strategy is described that capitalises on the rapid and efficient nature of the diselenide-selenoester ligation reaction, together with photodeselenisation chemistry. This ligation strategy hinged on the development of a novel photolabile protecting group for the side chain of selenocysteine, namely the 7-diethylamino-3-methyl coumarin (DEAMC) moiety. Deprotection of this DEAMC group can be effected in a mild, reagent-free manner using visible light (λ = 450 nm) without deleterious deselenisation of selenocysteine residues, thus enabling a subsequent ligation reaction without purification. The use of this DEAMC-protected selenocysteine in iterative DSL chemistry is highlighted through the efficient one-pot syntheses of 60- and 80-residue fragments of mucin-1 as well as apolipoprotein CIII in just 2-4 hours.
