A Bioorthogonal Reaction of N-Oxide and Boron Reagents.

ABSTRACT: The development of bioorthogonal reactions has classically focused on bond-forming ligation reactions. In this report, we seek to expand the functional repertoire of such transformations by introducing a new bond-cleaving reaction between N-oxide and boron reagents. The reaction features a large dynamic range of reactivity, showcasing second-order rate constants as high as 2.3×10(3) ?M(-1) ?s(-1) using diboron reaction partners. Diboron reagents display minimal cell toxicity at millimolar concentrations, penetrate cell membranes, and effectively reduce N-oxides inside mammalian cells. This new bioorthogonal process based on miniscule components is thus well-suited for activating molecules within cells under chemical control. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the metabolic diversity of nature enables the use of naturally occurring functional groups that display inherent biocompatibility alongside abiotic components for organism-specific applications.

Sterically Unprotected Nucleophilic Boron Cluster Reagents.

Project description:A cornerstone of modern synthetic chemistry rests on the ability to manipulate the reactivity of a carbon center by rendering it either electrophilic or nucleophilic. However, accessing a similar reactivity spectrum with boron-based reagents has been significantly more challenging. While classical nucleophilic carbon-based reagents normally do not require steric protection, readily accessible, unprotected boron-based nucleophiles have not yet been realized. Herein, we demonstrate that the bench stable closo-hexaborate cluster anion can engage in a nucleophilic substitution reaction with a wide array of organic and main group electrophiles. The resulting molecules containing B?C bonds can be further converted to tricoordinate boron species widely used in organic synthesis.

Structurally Redesigned Bioorthogonal Reagents for Mitochondria-Specific Prodrug Activation.

Project description:The development of abiotic chemical reactions that can be performed in an organelle-specific manner can provide new opportunities in drug delivery and cell and chemical biology. However, due to the complexity of the cellular environment, this remains a significant challenge. Here, we introduce structurally redesigned bioorthogonal tetrazine reagents that spontaneously accumulate in mitochondria of live mammalian cells. The attributes leading to their efficient accumulation in the organelle were optimized to include the right combination of lipophilicity and positive delocalized charge. The best performing mitochondriotropic tetrazines enable subcellular chemical release of TCO-caged compounds as we show using fluorogenic substrates and mitochondrial uncoupler niclosamide. Our work demonstrates that a shrewd redesign of common bioorthogonal reagents can lead to their transformation into organelle-specific probes, opening the possibility to activate prodrugs and manipulate biological processes at the subcellular level by using purely chemical tools.

Synthesis of boron dipyrromethene fluorescent probes for bioorthogonal labeling.

Project description:Seven 5-substituted 3-hydrazinyl derivatives of 3a, 4a-diaza-4,4-difluoro-8-phenyl boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) were prepared for use as bioorthogonal fluorescent labels of aldehydes and ketones. The absorption energies can be tuned to absorb visible light over a large span of wavelengths by changing the nature of the 5-substituent. Optical properties of the hydrazones formed with these molecules are affected by the nature of the electrophile such that aliphatic and aromatic hydrazones can be differentiated from each other and from unreacted fluorophore.

Multifunctional Clickable Reagents for Rapid Bioorthogonal Astatination and Radio-Crosslinking.

Project description:In the past decade, several developments have expanded the chemical toolbox for astatination and the preparation of 211At-labeled radiopharmaceuticals. However, there is still a need for advanced methods for the synthesis of astatinated (bio)molecules to address challenges such as limited in vivo stability. Herein, we report the development of multifunctional 211At-labeled reagents that can be prepared by applying a modular and versatile click approach for rapid assembly. The introduction of tetrazines as bioorthogonal tags enables rapid radiolabeling and radio-crosslinking, which is demonstrated by steric shielding of 211At to significantly increase label stability in human blood plasma.

Perfluoroaryl Azide Staudinger Reaction: A Fast and Bioorthogonal Reaction.

Project description:We report a fast Staudinger reaction between perfluoroaryl azides (PFAAs) and aryl phosphines, which occurs readily under ambient conditions. A rate constant as high as 18?m-1 ?s-1 was obtained between methyl 4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoate and methyl 2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzoate in CD3 CN/D2 O. Furthermore, the iminophosphorane product was stable toward hydrolysis and aza-phosphonium ylide reactions. This PFAA Staudinger reaction proved to be an excellent bioothorgonal reaction. PFAA-derivatized mannosamine and galactosamine were successfully transformed into cell-surface glycans and efficiently labeled with phosphine-derivatized fluorophore-conjugated bovine serum albumin.

Boron-doped sodium layered oxide for reversible oxygen redox reaction in Na-ion battery cathodes.

Project description:Na-ion cathode materials operating at high voltage with a stable cycling behavior are needed to develop future high-energy Na-ion cells. However, the irreversible oxygen redox reaction at the high-voltage region in sodium layered cathode materials generates structural instability and poor capacity retention upon cycling. Here, we report a doping strategy by incorporating light-weight boron into the cathode active material lattice to decrease the irreversible oxygen oxidation at high voltages (i.e., >4.0 V vs. Na+/Na). The presence of covalent B-O bonds and the negative charges of the oxygen atoms ensures a robust ligand framework for the NaLi1/9Ni2/9Fe2/9Mn4/9O2 cathode material while mitigating the excessive oxidation of oxygen for charge compensation and avoiding irreversible structural changes during cell operation. The B-doped cathode material promotes reversible transition metal redox reaction enabling a room-temperature capacity of 160.5 mAh g-1 at 25 mA g-1 and capacity retention of 82.8% after 200 cycles at 250 mA g-1. A 71.28 mAh single-coated lab-scale Na-ion pouch cell comprising a pre-sodiated hard carbon-based anode and B-doped cathode material is also reported as proof of concept.

Co-opting a Bioorthogonal Reaction for Oncometabolite Detection.

Project description:Dysregulated metabolism is a hallmark of many diseases, including cancer. Methods to fluorescently detect metabolites have the potential to enable new approaches to cancer detection and imaging. However, fluorescent sensing methods for naturally occurring cellular metabolites are relatively unexplored. Here we report the development of a chemical approach to detect the oncometabolite fumarate. Our strategy exploits a known bioorthogonal reaction, the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrileimines and electron-poor olefins, to detect fumarate via fluorescent pyrazoline cycloadduct formation. We demonstrate hydrazonyl chlorides serve as readily accessible nitrileimine precursors, whose reactivity and spectral properties can be tuned to enable detection of fumarate and other dipolarophile metabolites. Finally, we show this reaction can be used to detect enzyme activity changes caused by mutations in fumarate hydratase, which underlie the familial cancer predisposition syndrome hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer. Our studies define a novel intersection of bioorthogonal chemistry and metabolite reactivity that may be harnessed to enable biological profiling, imaging, and diagnostic applications.

Sonochemical Synthesis of Small Boron Oxide Nanoparticles.

Project description:The synthesis of small boron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is reported. A sonochemical approach in the presence of a capping agent was employed to produce approximately 4-5-nm-sized B2O3 NPs, including the 10B isotopically enriched form. The morphology and composition of the NPs were established using transmission electron microscopy and diffraction, respectively. X-ray photoelectron and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies provided information about surface functionalization of the B2O3 NPs, which can be further modified through a facile, one-step ligand-exchange process. The toxicity of the synthesized NPs was investigated in Chinese hamster ovarian cells, indicating that these systems were nontoxic up to 1.7 mM concentrations.
