The accurate quantification of biomarkers is paramount in modern medicine, particularly in cancer where precise diagnosis is imperative for targeted therapy selection. In this paper we described a multiplexed analysis diagnostic approach based on cleavable MS-tagged antibodies. The technology uses MS-tag isotopologues and the sydnonimine-cyclooctyne click-and-release bioorthogonal reaction.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists are using a cool technique called isotopic labeling to help with important health research, like drug development and imaging.
  • This study shows a new way to create special labeled molecules called pyridines using a method called nitrogen isotope exchange.
  • The researchers also figured out how to swap nitrogen for carbon in other compounds, which could help them label even more types of molecules.

In this article, we report the synthesis of sydnonimines from sydnones and their use as dipoles for fast click-and-release reactions. The process relies on nucleophilic aromatic substitution of aliphatic and aromatic amines with triflated sydnones. This new methodology allowed the preparation of functionalised sydnonimine probes that are otherwise difficult to prepare.

The reactivity of sydnones and sydnonimines toward terminal alkynes under copper catalysis has been explored using High-Throughput-Experimentation. A large panel of ligands and reaction conditions have been tested to optimize the copper-catalyzed sydnone click reaction discovered by our group ten years ago. This screening approach led to the identification of new ligands, which boosted the catalytic properties of copper and allowed the discovery of a new copper-catalyzed click-and-release reaction involving sydnonimines.

The need for carbon-labeled radiotracers is increasingly higher in drug discovery and development (carbon-14, β, = 5730 years) as well as in positron emission tomography (PET) for in vivo molecular imaging applications (carbon-11, β, = 20.4 min). However, the structural diversity of radiotracers is still systematically driven by the narrow available labeled sources and methodologies.

We describe herein a molecular design to generate circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters in which chiral bicarbazole donors are connected to acceptor units a rigid 8-membered cycle and how the nature of the donor and acceptor units affect the photophysical and chiroptical properties.
