Saccharide-peptide hydrogels have been developed in our laboratory as new synthetic extracellular matrices for regenerative medicine applications. In this work, we have expanded on our previously reported system and applied copolymerization of cysteine (Cys) and vinyl sulfone (VS)-functionalized saccharide-peptide polymers via Michael-type addition for encapsulation and 3D culture of cells. Specifically, our aims were to (1) develop a novel hydrogel platform, which could be applied for encapsulating and culturing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a 3D environment, (2) characterize the tunable properties of the hydrogel, specifically, degradation, mechanical, and gel network properties, and (3) determine the biocompatibility of the saccharide-peptide hydrogel material with MSCs.

"Click" synthesis of nonsymmetrical bis(1,2,3-triazoles).

Org Lett

April 2010

Unsymmetrically 1,1'-disubstituted 4,4'-bis-1H-1,2,3-triazoles 4 have been prepared from 4-ethynyl-1,2,3-triazoles 5 and azides. Following a "double-click" strategy, two complementary approaches were implemented for the preparation of the key 4-ethynyltriazole intermediates 5: (a) the stepwise Swern oxidation/Ohira-Bestman alkynylation of readily available 4-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3-triazoles 8 and (b) the stepwise cycloaddition of TMS-1,4-butadiyne 9. The method is highlighted by its compatibility with orthogonally protected and functionalized saccharide-peptide hybrids and its ability to be extended to the trisubstituted counterparts 12.
