AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
In this study, novel copillar[4+1]arenes were used as central heteromultivalent scaffolds via orthogonal couplings with a series of biologically relevant molecules such as carbohydrates, α-amino acids, biotin and phenylboronic acid. Further modifications by introducing maleimides or cyclooctyne groups provided molecular probes adapted to copper-free click chemistry. An octa-azidated fluorescent rotaxane bearing two distinct ligands was also generated in a fully controlled manner.

Heteromultivalent scaffolds with different repeated monomers have great potential in biomedicine, but convenient construction strategies for integrating various functional modules to achieve multiple biological functions are still lacking. Here, taking advantage of the heteromultivalent effect of dendritic nucleic acids and the specific biochemical properties of microRNAs (miRNAs), we assembled novel heteromultivalent nucleic acid scaffolds by biomimetic co-assembly of DNA-RNA building blocks. In our approach, two miRNAs were used to initiate and maintain dendritic structures in an interdependent manner; so, the heteromultivalent nanostructure can only form in the presence of both miRNAs.

Glycoconjugates are a versatile class of bioactive molecules that have found application as vaccines and antivirals and in cancer therapy. Their synthesis typically involves elaborate functionalization and use of protecting groups on the carbohydrate component in order to ensure efficient and selective conjugation. Alternatively, non-functionalized, non-protected carbohydrates isolated from biological sources or derived through biotechnological methods can be directly conjugated -methyloxyamine groups.

Precision glycomacromolecules have proven to be important tools for the investigation of multivalent carbohydrate-lectin interactions by presenting multiple glycan epitopes on a highly-defined synthetic scaffold. Herein, we present a new strategy for the versatile assembly of heteromultivalent glycomacromolecules that contain different carbohydrate motifs in proximity within the side chains. A new building block suitable for the solid-phase polymer synthesis of precision glycomacromolecules was developed with a branching point in the side chain that bears a free alkyne and a TIPS-protected alkyne moiety, which enables the subsequent attachment of different carbohydrate motifs by on-resin copper-mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions.

The investigation of heteromultivalent interactions of complex glycoligands and proteins is critical for understanding important biological processes and developing carbohydrate-based pharmaceutics. Synthetic glycomimetics, derived by mimicking complex glycoligands on a variety of scaffolds, have become important tools for studying the role of carbohydrates in chemistry and biology. In this paper, we report on a new synthetic strategy for the preparation of monodisperse, sequence-defined glycooligomers or so-called precision glycomacromolecules based on solid phase oligomer synthesis and the Staudinger ligation.
