We here describe a visible-light photooxidation of sulfinate salts with common alkenes to yield β-hydroxy sulfones on DNA. This process demonstrates a broad substrate compatibility and achieves conversion rates ranging from moderate to excellent. Most importantly, it presents a straightforward, efficient, and metal-free approach for synthesizing Csp-rich DNA-encoded libraries.

Small molecules that can bind to specific cells have broad applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Screening large chemical libraries against live cells is an effective strategy for discovering cell-targeting ligands. The DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL or DECL) technology has emerged as a robust tool in drug discovery and has been successfully utilized in identifying ligands for biological targets.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids for humans and play an indispensable role in many physiological and pathological processes. Branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase (BCAT) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the metabolism of BCAAs. BCAT is upregulated in many cancers and implicated in the development and progress of some other diseases, such as metabolic and neurological diseases; and therefore, targeting BCAT might be a potential therapeutic approach for these diseases.

Based on their ability to canvas vast genetic or chemical space at low cost and high speed, DNA-encoded libraries (DEL) have served to enable both genomic and small molecule discovery. Current DEL chemical library screening approaches focus primarily on target-based affinity or activity. Here we describe an approach to record the phenotype-based activity of DNA-encoded small molecules on their cognate barcode in living cells.

The Target 2035 initiative is an ambitious proposal to discover pharmacological tools across the human proteome. This Viewpoint summarizes an approach inspired by that goal leveraging DNA-encoded library coupled with machine learning approaches to assess the ligandability of the WD40 repeat target class of proteins.

Chemical inducers of proximity (CIPs) are molecules that recruit one protein to another and introduce new functionalities toward modulating protein states and activities. While CIP-mediated recruitment of E3 ligases is widely exploited for the development of degraders, other therapeutic modalities remain underexplored. We describe a non-degrader CIP-DNA-encoded library (CIP-DEL) that recruits FKBP12 to target proteins using non-traditional acyclic structures, with an emphasis on introducing stereochemically diverse and rigid connectors to attach the combinatorial library.
