Niño-Ramírez VA, Insuasty-Cepeda DS, Rivera-Monroy ZJ, Maldonado M. Evidence of Isomerization in the Michael-Type Thiol-Maleimide Addition: Click Reaction between L-Cysteine and 6-Maleimidehexanoic Acid. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27165064. [PMID: 36014302 PMCID: PMC9415311 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27165064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The reaction between L-cysteine (Cys) and 6-maleimidohexanoic acid (Mhx) in an aqueous medium at different levels of pH was analyzed via RP-HPLC, finding the presence of two reaction products throughout the evaluated pH range. By means of solid-phase extraction (SPE), it was possible to separate the products and obtain isolated profiles enriched up to 80%. The products were analyzed individually through mass spectrometry, DAD-HPLC, NMR 1H, 13C, and two-dimensional evidence of isomerization between the hydrogen atoms of the α-amino and the thiol group present in the cysteine. Thus, it was concluded that the products obtained corresponded to a mixture of the isomer Cys-S-Mhx, where the adduct is formed by a thioether bond, and the isomer Cys-NH-Mhx, in which the union is driven by the amino group. We consider that the phenomenon of isomerization is an important finding, since it has not previously been reported for this reaction.

Abstract
Cage-like supramolecular assemblies called molecular cages, which possess attractive functions, have been prepared. Although biomolecule-based nanocages are required for biological/medical applications such as drug delivery systems, the majority of nanocages are constructed using aromatic compounds with lower biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this study, the construction of a peptide nanocage consisting of an oligoproline conjugate is demonstrated. The conjugate was easy to prepare and had high biocompatibility. The oligoproline moiety of the conjugate had a rigid, rod-like structure suitable for the backbone of the supramolecular nanocage. The conjugates self-assembled to form peptide nanocages with a huge inner cavity.

Abstract
Delivery remains a major obstacle restricting the potential action of small molecular drugs as well as novel biologics which cannot readily enter cells without the help of a vector. A successful active delivery process involves three steps: (a) tagging the drug with a vector, (b) effective trafficking of this [drug-vector] conjugate through biological barriers, and finally (c) controlled drug release. While covalent bond formation and/or supramolecular association is involved in the making of the [drug-vector] conjugate, the final step requires precisely a controlled dissociation in order to trigger drug release. Therefore, in pursuit of smart, effective, and nontoxic delivery systems, it has become widely recognized that control over dynamic self-assembly could unleash the efficacy of artificial vectors. In this Account, I discuss our endeavors, and those of colleagues, in the recent implementation of Dynamic Covalent Chemistry (DCvC) in delivery applications. DCvC exploits reversible covalent reactions to generate covalent systems that can self-fabricate, adapt, respond, and fall apart in a controlled fashion. A privileged set of reversible covalent reactions has emerged in the community working on delivery applications and is based on condensation reactions (imine, acylhydrazone, oxime), and disulfide and boronate ester formations. The latest developments making this chemistry particularly attractive for such a DCvC approach are discussed. The rational justifying the potential of DCvC in delivery is based on the principle that using such reversible covalent reactions afford transient [drug-vector] conjugates which form spontaneously and chemoselectively, then adapt and self-correct their structure during self-assembly and trafficking thanks to the dynamic nature of the reversible covalent bonds, and finally respond to physicochemical stimuli such as pH and redox changes, thereby enabling controlled dissociation and concomitant drug release. For these reasons, DCvC has recently emerged as a leverage tool with growing prospects for advancing toward smarter delivery systems. The implementation of DCvC can follow three approaches that are discussed herein: (1) dynamic covalent bioconjugates, involving the transient covalent conjugation with a vector, (2) dynamic covalent vectors, involving the controlled dynamic and adaptive assembly and disassembly of vectors that complex drugs through supramolecular association, and (3) dynamic covalent targeting, involving the transient chemoselective formation of covalent bonds with the constituents of cell membranes. While DCvC has already attracted interest in material sciences, the recent results described in this Account showcase the vast potential of DCvC in biological sciences, and in particular in delivery applications where self-fabricated, adaptive, and responsive devices are of utmost importance.

Abstract
Harnessing the self-assembly of peptide sequences has demonstrated great promise in the domain of creating high precision shape-tunable biomaterials. The unique properties of peptides allow for a building block approach to material design. In this study, self-assembly of mixed systems encompassing two peptide sequences with identical hydrophobic regions and distinct polar segments is investigated. The two peptide sequences are diphenylalanine and phenylalanine-asparagine-phenylalanine. The study examines the impact of molecular composition (namely, the total peptide concentration and the relative tripeptide concentration) on the morphology of the self-assembled hybrid biological material. We report a rich polymorphism in the assemblies of these peptides and explain the relationship between the peptide sequence, concentration and the morphology of the supramolecular assembly.
