Published: March 2010

We describe the assembly of a 960-member library of tricyclic 2,3-dihydro-4-quinolones using a combination of solution-phase high-throughput organic synthesis and parallel chromatographic purification. The library was produced with high efficiency and complete chemo- and diastereoselectivity by diversification of an azide-bearing quinolone via a sequence of [4 + 2] cycloadditions, N-acylations, and reductive aminations. The azide-functionalization of this library is designed to facilitate subsequent preparation of fluorescent or affinity probes, as well as small-molecule/surface conjugation.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) present a promising modality for numerous biological and medical applications, including therapeutics. Developing facile methods to engineer EVs is essential to meeting the rapidly expanding demand for various functionalized EVs in these applications. Herein, we developed a technology that integrates enzymatic glycoengineering and microfluidics for effective EV functionalization.

Real-time tracking of intracellular carbohydrates remains challenging. While click chemistry allows bio-orthogonal tagging with fluorescent probes, the reaction permanently alters the target molecule and only allows a single snapshot. Here, we demonstrate click-free mid-infrared photothermal (MIP) imaging of azide-tagged carbohydrates in live cells.

Cellular glucose uptake is a key feature reflecting metabolic demand of cells in physiopathological conditions. Fluorophore-conjugated sugar derivatives are widely used for monitoring glucose transporter (GLUT) activity at the single-cell level, but have limitations in in vivo applications. Here, we develop a click chemistry-based post-labeling method for flow cytometric measurement of glucose uptake with low background adsorption.

Sensitive and accurate analysis of specific subpopulations in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) can provide a wealth of information for cancer diagnosis and management. Thus, we propose herein a new electrochemical biosensing method based on a proximity labeling-assisted click conjugation strategy. The method's core design is use of antibody-guided proximity labeling to equip target EVs with a large amount of alkyne groups, so that azide-tagged silver nanoparticles can be accurately loaded onto target EV surfaces, via click conjugation, to generate significant electrochemical responses.

Hypoxia is involved in various diseases, such as cancers. Pimonidazole has often been used as the gold-standard marker to visualize hypoxic regions. Pimonidazole labels hypoxic regions by forming a covalent bond with a neighboring protein under hypoxic conditions in the body, which is detected by immunohistochemistry performed on tissue sections.
