Twenty-seven 7-chloroquinolinotriazole derivatives with different substituents in the triazole moiety were synthesized via copper-catalyzed cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry between 4-azido-7-chloroquinoline and several alkynes. All the synthetic compounds were evaluated for their in vitro activity against Plasmodium falciparum (W2) and cytotoxicity to Hep G2A16 cells. All the products disclosed low cytotoxicity (CC50 > 100 μM) and five of them have shown moderate antimalarial activity (IC50 from 9.6 to 40.9 μM). As chloroquine analogs it was expected that these compounds might inhibit the heme polymerization and SAR studies were performed aiming to explain their antimalarial profile. New structural variations can be designed on the basis of the results obtained.

Protein-protein interactions in the cell membrane are typically mediated by glycans, with terminal sialic acid often involved in these interactions. To probe the nature of the interactions, we developed quantitative cross-linking methods involving the glycans of the glycoproteins and the polypeptide moieties of proteins. We designed and synthesized biotinylated enrichable cross-linkers that were click-tagged to metabolically incorporate azido-sialic acid on cell surface glycans to allow cross-linking of the azido-glycans with lysine residues on proximal polypeptides.

Lithium metal electrodes inevitably lead to the decomposition of the liquid electrolyte and lithium dendrite growth, both of which result in the formation of unstable solid electrolyte intermediates (SEIs). Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are expected to replace liquid electrolytes for optimizing the SEI issues of lithium metal. Herein, a cellulose-based gel electrolyte cross-linked by thiol-modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (thiol-modified-POSS) was successfully obtained based on "thiol-ene" click chemistry.

The discovery of novel anti-cancer drugs motivated us to synthesize a new series of triple 1,2,3-triazole-based arm scaffolds featuring distinct un functionalized alkyl and/or aryl side chains with possible anti-cancer action using the click chemistry approach under both conventional and green microwave irradiation (MWI) methods. The Cu(I) catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of targeted tris-alkyne with un functionalized aliphatic and aromatic azides has been adopted as an efficient approach for synthesizing the desired click adducts. Microwave irradiation improved the synthetic processes, resulting in higher yields and faster reaction times.

Since its conceptualization, click chemistry in all its variants has proven to be a superior synthesis protocol, compared to conventional methods, for forming new covalent bonds under mild conditions, orthogonally, and with high yields. If a term like reactive resilience could be established, click reactions would be good examples, as they perform better under increasingly challenging conditions. Particularly, highly hindered couplings that perform poorly with conventional chemistry protocols-such as those used to conjugate biomacromolecules (e.

Cellulose tosylate (MCC-Tos) is a key derivative for surface modification and a crucial precursor for cellulose compatibilization in click reactions, enabling its functionalization for advanced applications. Replacing tosyl groups with alkyne groups broadens cellulose's potential in biocompatible reactions, such as thiol-yne click chemistry and protein/enzyme immobilization. To achieve this, we optimized the heterogeneous synthesis of MCC-Tos using a Doehlert matrix statistical design, evaluating the influence and interaction of the reaction conditions.
