The copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction is a powerful tool for bioconjugation of biomolecules, particularly proteins and peptides. The major drawback limiting the use of the CuAAC reaction in biological systems is the copper-mediated formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to the oxidative degradation of proteins or peptides. From the studies on a limited number of proteins and peptides, it is known that, in general, the copper mediated oxidative damage is associated with the copper coordination environment and solvent accessibility. However, there is a lack of data to help estimate the extent of copper-mediated oxidation on a wide range of proteins and peptides. To begin to address this need, we quantitatively measured the degree of copper-mediated oxidation on libraries of 1200 tetrapeptides and a model protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA) using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The collected data will be useful to researchers planning to use the CuAAC reaction for bioconjugaton on peptides or proteins.

Our ongoing research focuses on the development of new imipridone derivatives. We aim to design compounds that can completely and selectively eradicate cancer cells after relatively short treatment. We have synthetized systematically designed novel hybrids and evaluated their antiproliferative activity against PANC-1 and Fadu cell lines.

Graft copolymers have gained significant importance in various fields due to their tunable functionality and well-defined architecture. However, there are still limitations due to the compatibility of monomers and functional groups depending on the polymerization mode. Click chemistry has solved this problem through its ability to easily and quantitatively link a wide range of polymers and functional groups.

This study explores the synthesis and evaluation of novel 1,2,3-triazole-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone hybrids, focusing on their electrochemical properties and antiparasitic efficacies against two human blood-dwelling parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Schistosoma mansoni. Using copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), a well-established tool in click chemistry, two synthetic routes were assessed to develop a- and b-[triazole-methyl]-menadione derivatives. By optimizing the CuAAC reaction conditions, yields were significantly improved, reaching up to 94% for key intermediates and resulting in the formation of a library of approximately 30 compounds.

Aim: Benzimidazole-triazole conjugates are very active hotspot for design and synthesis of promising anticancer agents. The target analogs showed potent and selective cytotoxicity over different cancer cell lines for breast and lung ones.
Materials & Methods: A new series of bis-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles moieties conjugated with a 2-mercapto-benzimidazole 4a-h and 7a-g was synthesized via the click cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction.

We report the synthesis of germanyl triazoles formed via a copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) of germanyl alkynes. The reaction is often high yielding, functional group tolerant, and compatible with complex molecules. The installation of the Ge moiety enables further diversification of the triazole products, including chemoselective transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions using bifunctional boryl/germyl species.
