Self-immolative Polymer Hydrogels via In Situ Gelation.

Chemistry

School of Biomedical Engineering, The University of Western Ontario, 1151 Richmond Street, N6A 5B9, London, Ontario, Canada.

Hydrogels are of interest for a wide range of applications. The ability to control when the hydrogel degrades can provide beneficial properties such as controlled degradation in the environment or the stimulated release of drugs or cells. Self-immolative polymers are a class of degradable polymers that undergo complete end-to-end depolymerization upon the application of a stimulus.

Copper-Free Synthesis of Cationic Glycidyl Triazolyl Polymers.

Macromol Rapid Commun

December 2024

1-1 Namiki, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-0044, Japan.

Copper-free synthesis of cationic glycidyl triazolyl polymers (GTPs) is achieved through a thermal azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction between glycidyl azide polymer and propiolic acid, followed by decarboxylation and quaternization of the triazole unit. For synthesizing nonfunctionalized GTP (GTP-H), a microwave-assisted method enhances the decarboxylation reaction of carboxy-functionalized GTP (GTP-COOH). Three variants of cationic GTPs with different N-substituents [N-ethyl, N-butyl, and N-tri(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (EG3)] are synthesized.

An easy and simple method for the immobilization of dyes through click reactions: activated alkyne, copper not needed.

RSC Adv

April 2024

Grupo de Química Macromolecular (LABQUIMAC), Departamento de Química Orgánica e Inorgánica, Facultad de Ciencia y Tecnología, Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU 48940 Leioa Spain

The copper-free azide-alkyne click reaction has shown to be a successful alternative to immobilize covalently a fluorescente compound onto poly(-l-lactic) acid (PLLA) surfaces. Proceded by basic hydrolysis and amidation reaction, typical surface characterization techniques have validated each functionaliztion step and the success of the conjugation. This method offers a catalyst-free option for various surface conjugations, extremely demanded in biomedical and biosensory fields.

Bioorthogonal chemistry has gained widespread use in the study of many biological systems of interest, including protein prenylation. Prenylation is a post-translational modification, in which one or two 15- or 20-carbon isoprenoid chains are transferred onto cysteine residues near the C-terminus of a target protein. The three main enzymes─protein farnesyltransferase (FTase), geranylgeranyl transferase I (GGTase I), and geranylgeranyl transferase II (GGTase II)─that catalyze this process have been shown to tolerate numerous structural modifications in the isoprenoid substrate.

The functionalization in position-7 of 7-deazaisoguanine and 7-deazapurin-2,6-diamine ribo- and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides by halogen atoms (chloro, bromo, iodo), and clickable alkynyl and vinyl side chains for copper-catalyzed and copper-free cycloadditions is described. Problems arising during the synthesis of the 7-iodinated isoguanine ribo- and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides were solved by the action of acetone. The impact of side chains and halogen atoms on the p values and hydrophobicity of nucleosides was investigated.
