A novel and versatile toolkit approach for the functionalization of biomaterials of different nature is described. This methodology is based on the solid-phase conjugation of specific anchoring units onto a resin-bound azido-functionalized peptide by using click chemistry. A synergistic multifunctional peptidic scaffold with cell adhesive properties was used as a model compound to showcase the versatility of this new approach. Titanium, gold and polylactic acid surfaces were biofunctionalized by this method, as validated by physicochemical surface characterization with XPS. In vitro assays using mesenchymal stem cells showed enhanced cell adhesion on the functionalized samples, proving the capacity of this strategy to efficiently bioactivate different types of biomaterials.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be prepared from oligomeric organic ligands to prepare materials referred to as oligoMOFs. Studies of oligoMOFs are relatively limited, with most existing reports focused on fundamental structure-property relationships. In this report, functional groups, such as terminal alkynes and pyridine groups, are installed on the tether between 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid (Hbdc) groups of the dimer ligands.

ConspectusThe design of properties and functions of molecular assemblies requires not only a proper choice of building blocks but also control over their packing arrangements. A highly versatile unit in this context is a particular type of triptycene with substituents at the 1,8,13-positions, called tripodal triptycene, which offers predictable molecular packing and multiple functionalization sites, both at the opposite 4,5,16- or 10 (bridgehead)-positions. These triptycene building blocks are capable of two-dimensional (2D) nested hexagonal packing, leading to the formation of 2D sheets, which undergo one-dimensional (1D) stacking into well-defined "2D+1D" structures.

The tedious synthesis and limited throughput biological evaluation remain a great challenge for discovering new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC). To rapidly identify potential PROTAC lead compounds, we report a platform named Auto-RapTAC. Based on the modular characteristic of the PROTAC molecule, a streamlined workflow that integrates lab automation with "click chemistry" joint building-block libraries was constructed.

Antithrombotic drugs are widely used to prevent thrombotic events in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, they all carry varying degrees of bleeding risk. Currently, there are no approved reversal agents for antiplatelet medications, which limits their further clinical application and poses challenges in managing bleeding complications.

Automated glycan assembly (AGA) streamlines the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides. The reducing end of the oligosaccharide serves as an attachment site to the polymer support to liberate a free reducing end or an aminopentanol for ready conjugation to carrier proteins or surfaces. The facile installation of different aglycons on oligosaccharides has not been possible via AGA until now.
