Abstract
Polypeptides, a kind of very promising biomaterial, have shown a wide range of applications due to their excellent biocompatibility, easy accessibility, and structural variability. To synthesize polypeptides with desired functions, post-polymerization modification (PPM) plays an important role in introducing novel chemical structure on their side-chains. The key of PPM strategy is to develop highly selective and efficient reactions that can couple the additional functional moieties with pre-installed side-chain functionalities on polypeptides. In this minireview, classic PPM reactions and especially their recent progresses are summarized, including different modification approaches for unsaturated alkyl group, oxygen-containing functional group, nitrogen-containing functional group, sulfur-containing functional group and other special functional group on side chains. In addition, this review also highlights the applications of structure-diversified polypeptides generated via PPM strategy in the field of biomaterial.

Abstract
Controlled drug delivery systems, which could release loaded therapeutics upon physicochemical changes imposed by physiological triggers in the desired zone and during the required period of time, offer numerous advantages over traditional drug carriers including enhanced therapeutic effects and reduced toxicity. A polypeptide is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, which can be conveniently endowed with stimuli-responsiveness by introducing natural amino acid residues with innate stimuli-responsive characteristics or introducing responsive moieties to its side chains using simple conjugating methods, rendering it an ideal biomedical material for controlled drug delivery. This feature article summarizes our recent work and other relevant studies on the development of polypeptide-based drug delivery systems that respond to single or multiple physiological stimuli (e.g., pH, redox potential, glucose, and hypoxia) for controlled drug delivery applications. The material designs, synthetic strategies, loading and controlled-release mechanisms of drugs, and biomedical applications of these stimuli-responsive polypeptides-based drug delivery systems are elaborated. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in this field are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Novel imidazoline benzimidazole derivatives containing diversely substituted phenoxy moieties were synthesized with the aim of evaluating their antitrypanosomal activity, DNA/RNA binding affinity and in vitro ADME properties. The presence of the diethylaminoethyl subunit in 18a-18c led to enhanced antitrypanosomal potency, particularly for 18a and 18c, which contain unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted phenoxy moieties. They were found to be > 2-fold more potent against African trypanosomes than nifurtimox. Fluorescence and CD spectroscopy, thermal denaturation assays and computational analysis indicated a preference of 18a-18c toward AT-rich DNA and their minor groove binding mode. Replacement of the amidine group with less basic and ionisable nitrogen-containing moieties failed to improve membrane permeability of the investigated compounds. Due to structural diversification, the compounds displayed a range of physico-chemical features resulting in variable in vitro ADME properties, leaving space for further optimization of the biological profiles.

Abstract
Thermo-responsive polymers are of broad interest in a range of biomedical and biotechnological fields. This review summaries the use of ‘isothermal’ transitions where thermo-responsive polymers are re-programmed to respond to other stimuli, but with the same outputs, with the aim of making them ‘smarter’.
