Copper-free click chemistry for dynamic in vivo imaging

Jeremy M. Baskin*, Jennifer A. Prescher*, Scott T. Laughlin*, Nicholas J. Agard*, Pamela V. Chang*, Isaac A. Miller*, Anderson Lo*, Julian A. Codelli*, and Carolyn R. Bertozzi

Dynamic imaging of proteins in live cells is routinely performed by using genetically encoded reporters, an approach that cannot be extended to other classes of biomolecules such as glycans and lipids. Here, we report a Cu-free variant of click chemistry that can label these biomolecules rapidly and selectively in living systems, overcoming the intrinsic toxicity of the canonical Cu-catalyzed reaction. The critical reagent, a substituted cyclooctyne, possesses ring strain and electron-withdrawing fluorine substituents that together promote the [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition with azides installed metabolically into biomolecules. This Cu-free click reaction possesses comparable kinetics to the Cu-catalyzed reaction and proceeds within minutes on live cells with no apparent toxicity. With this technique, we studied the dynamics of glycan trafficking and identified a population of sialoglycoconjugates with unexpectedly rapid internalization kinetics.

A Journey in Structure-Based Drug Discovery: From Designed Peptides to Protein Surface Topomimetics as Antibiotic and Antiangiogenic Agents

Ruud P. M. Dings and Kevin H. Mayo

Most biological events are mediated through molecular interactions by proteins, and because proteins are composed of structural units like helices, β-sheets and turns, small peptides and peptidomimetics may be used to mimic their biological effects and even as therapeutic agents in the clinic. Here, we present a structure-based, scaffold-driven approach to design bioactive peptides and peptidomimetics. Initially, we designed a novel series of β-sheet-forming peptides that mimic the activities of both antibiotic bacterial membrane disrupting peptides and antiangiogenic proteins. We subsequently used structure–activity relationships to reduce the design to partial peptide mimetics and then to fully nonpeptide topomimetics. Some of these agents are currently in extensive preclinical studies for further development as drug candidates against infectious disease and cancer.

Synthesis and characterisation of O-6-alkylthio- and perfluoroalkylpropanethio--cyclodextrins and their O-2-, O-3-methylated analogues

Bernard Bertino Ghera, Florent Perret, Anne Baudouin, Anthony W. Coleman and Hélène Parrot-Lopez

The synthesis of twelve alkylthio- or perfluoroalkylpropanethio--cyclodextrin derivatives and their O-2-, O-3-methylated analogues are described. The coupling reaction involves firstly the basic in situ hydrolysis of alkylperfluoropropane isothiouronium iodide or alkylisothiouronium bromide, then reaction with an -cyclodextrin modified at the C-6 position by an iodine or methylsulfonyl group. The interfacial properties of these new compounds have been determined by the studies of their mono-molecular layer at the air–water interface.

Carbo-mers: from skeleton to function

Valérie Maraval and Remi Chauvin

Since it has been proposed in 1995, the carbo-mer definition has been mainly applied to saturated and unsaturated rings of molecular skeletons, in view of studying their (homo)-aromatic character as compared to the electronic (de)localisation prevailing in the parent molecules. More generally, even acyclic or partial ethynylogues of common molecules exert fascination because the rigid expansion (preserving local symmetry) brought by the inserted acetylenic units gave them the status of "first-level nano-objects" When the C₂ insertion applies to the first shell of bonds at a given carbon or hetero-atom, the "exploded"unit can be considered a local carbo-mer of the corresponding function. The chemistry of molecules featuring a per-alkynylated atom is herein surveyed and perspectives are proposed. Some of them are "mysteriously" stable, while other remain "surprisingly" unknown in spite of their structural simplicity.
