Bond-Breaking Bio-orthogonal Chemistry Efficiently Uncages Fluorescent and Therapeutic Compounds under Physiological Conditions
摘要:
Bond-breaking bio-orthogonal chemistry, consisting of a "click" reaction between trans-cyclooctene and tetrazine, followed by an intramolecular cyclization-driven uncaging step is described. The two-step process allows activation of caged compounds in biological media at neutral pH. The feasibility of this chemistry has been illustrated using NMR, while kinetics and pH-dependence were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy using caged coumarin. The practicality of the strategy is illustrated by activation of an anticancer drug, etoposide.
The invention relates to a Prodrug activation method, for therapeutics, wherein use is made of abiotic reactive chemical groups that exhibit bio-orthogonal reactivity towards each other. The invention also relates to a Prodrug kit comprising at least one Prodrug and at least one Activator, wherein the Prodrug comprises a Drug and a first Bio-orthogonal Reactive Group (the Trigger), and wherein the Activator comprises a second Bio-orthogonal Reactive Group. The invention also relates to targeted therapeutics used in the above-mentioned method and kit. The invention particularly pertains to antibody-drug conjugates and to bi- and trispecific antibody derivatives.

functional cyclooctene were prepared and (co)polymerized using ring‐opening metathesis polymerization. The resulting polymers were hydrogenated to yield the corresponding functional polyolefins that were structurally equivalent to copolymers of ethylene and either methyl methacrylate, t‐butyl acrylate, or acrylic acid after deprotection. The copolymers that incorporate methyl methacrylate into the
