Electrochemistry has recently emerged as a powerful approach in small-molecule synthesis owing to its numerous attractive features, including precise control over the fundamental reaction parameters, mild reaction conditions and innate scalability. Even though these advantages also make it an attractive strategy for chemoselective modification of complex biomolecules such as proteins, such applications remain poorly developed. Here we report an electrochemically promoted coupling reaction between 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP) and simple aromatic amines-electrochemical labelling of hydroxyindoles with chemoselectivity (eCLIC)-that enables site-specific labelling of full-length proteins under mild conditions.

The first description of the in vivo visualization of somatostatin receptor-positive tumors in patients was based on the use of a radioiodine (I) labelled somatostatin analogue (Krenning et al. 1989). In the years that followed an Indium-111 (In) labelled somatostatin analogue, chelated with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), was successfully developed.

Herein, we used isotopic formaldehyde and sodium cyanoborohydride via reductive amination to label two methyl groups on primary amine to arrange the standards (-formaldehyde-modified) and internal standards (ISs, -formaldehyde-modified) of tryptophan and its metabolites, such as serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) and 5-hydroxytryptophan. These derivatized reactions with a high yield are very satisfactory for manufacturing standards and ISs. This strategy will generate one or two methyl groups on amine to create different mass unit shifts with 14 vs.

We have developed a novel visible-light-catalyzed bioconjugation reaction, PhotoCLIC, that enables chemoselective attachment of diverse aromatic amine reagents onto a site-specifically installed 5-hydroxytryptophan residue (5HTP) on full-length proteins of varied complexity. The reaction uses catalytic amounts of methylene blue and blue/red light-emitting diodes (455/650 nm) for rapid site-specific protein bioconjugation. Characterization of the PhotoCLIC product reveals a unique structure formed likely through a singlet oxygen-dependent modification of 5HTP.

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) and the pre-Bötzinger complex (PBC) may play an important role in regulating seizure-induced respiratory arrest (S-IRA), the main contributor to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Here, we describe pharmacological, optogenetic, and retrograde labeling approaches to specifically modulate the DR to PBC serotonergic pathway. We detail steps for implanting optical fibers and viral infusion into DR and PBC regions and optogenetic techniques for exploring the role of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HT) neural circuit of DR-PBC in S-IRA.
