In Vivo Targeting through Click Chemistry

Targeting small molecules to diseased tissues as therapy or diagnosis is a significant challenge in drug delivery. Drug‐eluting devices implanted during invasive surgery allow the controlled presentation of drugs at the disease site, but cannot be modified once the surgery is complete. We demonstrate that bioorthogonal click chemistry can be used to target circulating small molecules to hydrogels resident intramuscularly in diseased tissues. We also demonstrate that small molecules can be repeatedly targeted to the diseased area over the course of at least one month. Finally, two bioorthogonal reactions were used to segregate two small molecules injected as a mixture to two separate locations in a mouse disease model. These results demonstrate that click chemistry can be used for pharmacological drug delivery, and this concept is expected to have applications in refilling drug depots in cancer therapy, wound healing, and drug‐eluting vascular grafts and stents.

Assessing the Delivery of Molecules to the Mitochondrial Matrix Using Click Chemistry

Mitochondria are central to health and disease, hence there is considerable interest in developing mitochondria‐targeted therapies that require the delivery of peptides or nucleic acid oligomers. However, progress has been impeded by the lack of a measure of mitochondrial import of these molecules. Here, we address this need by quantitatively detecting molecules within the mitochondrial matrix. We used a mitochondria‐ targeted cyclooctyne (MitoOct) that accumulates several‐ hundredfold in the matrix, driven by the membrane potential. There, MitoOct reacts through click chemistry with an azide on the target molecule to form a diagnostic product that can be quantified by mass spectrometry. Because the membrane potential‐dependent MitoOct concentration in the matrix is essential for conjugation, we can now determine definitively whether a putative mitochondrion‐targeted molecule reaches the matrix. This “ClickIn” approach will facilitate development of mitochondria‐targeted therapies.     

Synthesis of Ferrocene-containing Polyacetylenes by Click Chemistry

Ferrocene-containing polyacetylenes are synthesized in good yields by Cu-catalyzed click reactions of azido moieties of poly[(6-chloro-1-phenyl-1-hexyne)-co-(6-azido-1-phenyl-1-hexyne)] and poly{1-[(4-azidohexyloxy)phenyl]-2-phenylacetylene} with ethynylferrocene. All the organometallic polymers are completely soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform, THF and toluene. Spectroscopic analyses reveal that all the azido functional groups have cyclized with ethynylferrocene. With the incorporation of ferrocene rings into the polyacetylene structure, the resulting polymers show enhanced thermal stability and redox activity.

Probing the Efficiency of 13-Pyridylalkyl Berberine Derivatives to Human Telomeric G-Quadruplexes Binding: Spectroscopic,Solid State and In Silico Analysis

The interaction between the series of berberine derivatives 1–5 (NAX071, NAX120, NAX075, NAX077 and NAX079) and human telomeric G-quadruplexes (G4), which are able to inhibit the Telomerase enzyme’s activity in malignant cells, was investigated. The derivatives bear a pyridine moiety connected by a hydrocarbon linker of varying length (n = 1–5, with n number of aliphatic carbon atoms) to the C13 position of the parent berberine. As for the G4s, both bimolecular 5′-TAGGGTTAGGGT-3′ (Tel12) and monomolecular 5′-TAGGGTTAGGGTTAGGGTTAGGG-3′ (Tel23) DNA oligonucleotides were considered. Spectrophotometric titrations, melting tests, X-ray diffraction solid state analysis and in silico molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to describe the different systems. The results were compared in search of structure–activity relationships. The analysis pointed out the formation of 1:1 complexes between Tel12 and all ligands, whereas both 1:1 and 2:1 ligand/G4 stoichiometries were found for the adduct formed by NAX071 (n = 1). Tel12, with tetrads free from the hindrance by the loop, showed a higher affinity. The details of the different binding geometries were discussed, highlighting the importance of H-bonds given by the berberine benzodioxole group and a correlation between the strength of binding and the hydrocarbon linker length. Theoretical (MD) and experimental (X-ray) structural studies evidence the possibility for the berberine core to interact with one or both G4 strands, depending on the constraints given by the linker length, thus affecting the G4 stabilization effect.     

Covalent Coupling of Nanoparticles with Low-Density Functional Ligands to Surfaces via Click Chemistry

We demonstrate the application of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (“click” reaction) to couple gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) functionalized with low densities of functional ligands. The ligand coverage on the citrate-stabilized Au NPs was adjusted by the ligand:Au surface atom ratio, while maintaining the colloidal stability of the Au NPs in aqueous solution. A procedure was developed to determine the driving forces governing the selectivity and reactivity of citrate-stabilized and ligand-functionalized Au NPs on patterned self-assembled monolayers. We observed selective and remarkably stable chemical bonding of the Au NPs to the complimentarily functionalized substrate areas, even when estimating that only 1–2 chemical bonds are formed between the particles and the substrate.     

Vinyl Sulfonates: A Click Function for Coupling‐and‐Decoupling Chemistry and their Applications

The term coupling‐and‐decoupling (CAD) chemistry refers to applications in which efficient bond formation and subsequent cleavage between two moieties is required. Within this context, the scope of the vinyl sulfonate (VSO) group as an efficient tool for CAD chemistry is reported. The coupling step relies on the click features of the Michael‐type addition of diverse nucleophiles to vinyl sulfonates as a valuable methodology. The feasibility of this strategy has been proved by the high yields obtained in mild conditions with model VSO derivatives. Cleavage of the resulting sulfonate adducts either through nucleophilic substitution with different nucleophiles (for alkyl VSO groups) or through hydrolysis (for both alkyl and aryl VSO) are successful strategies for the decoupling step, the former being the most promising, as the reaction proceeds under milder conditions with thiol nucleophiles. Moreover, the click VSO coupling chemistry proves to be orthogonal with the click CuAAC reaction, which enables the VSO‐CAD methodology for the preparation of hetero‐bifunctional clickable and cleavable linkers for double click modular strategies. The potential of the VSO‐CAD chemistry is demonstrated in two biologically relevant examples: the decoupling of sulfonates with glutathione (GSH) under conditions compatible with those of living systems; and the synthesis of homo‐ and heterogeneous multivalent glycosylated systems from 1‐thio and 1‐azido or 1‐azidoethyl sugar derivatives and bis‐vinyl sulfonates (homo systems) or alkynyl‐VSO bifunctional clickable‐cleavable linkers (hetero systems). As proof of concept, the cleavable character of these multivalent systems was demonstrated by using one of them as a reversible linker for the non‐covalent assembling and chemical decoupling of two model lectins.

     

Capturing the Direct Binding of CFTR Correctors to CFTR by Using Click Chemistry

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal genetic disease caused by the loss or dysfunction of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. F508del is the most prevalent mutation of the CFTR gene and encodes a protein defective in folding and processing. VX‐809 has been reported to facilitate the folding and trafficking of F508del‐CFTR and augment its channel function. The mechanism of action of VX‐809 has been poorly understood. In this study, we sought to answer a fundamental question underlying the mechanism of VX‐809: does it bind CFTR directly in order to exert its action? We synthesized two VX‐809 derivatives, ALK‐809 and SUL‐809, that possess an alkyne group and retain the rescue capacity of VX‐809. By using Cu^I‐catalyzed click chemistry, we provide evidence that the VX‐809 derivatives bind CFTR directly in vitro and in cells. Our findings will contribute to the elucidation of the mechanism of action of CFTR correctors and the design of more potent therapeutics to combat CF.
