Abstract
The adenosine A1 receptor is a therapeutic target based on its ability to provide cardioprotection during episodes of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury. However, the clinical translation of A1R agonists has been hindered by dose-limiting adverse effects (bradycardia and hypotension). Previously, we demonstrated that the bitopic agonist VCP746 (1), consisting of an adenosine pharmacophore linked to an allosteric moiety, can stimulate cardioprotective A1R signaling effects in the absence of unwanted bradycardia. This study maps the structure-activity relationships of 1 through modifications to the linker moiety. Derivatives differing in the flexibility, length, and nature of the linker were assessed, which revealed that the linker is tolerant of several modifications including added rigidity. Ligands featuring 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were the most biased of the novel analogues but also displayed sub-nanomolar potency in a cAMP accumulation assay at the A2BR. To our knowledge, 10 is the most potent A2BR agonist published to date.

Abstract
New water soluble amino β-cyclodextrin-based polymer was synthesized by reaction between amino cyclodextrin derivatives and pyromellitic anhydride. This experiment presents amino derivatives, which were synthesized by attaching amino groups to β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) used mono-6-azido-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-N3) and triphenylphosphine (Ph3P) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). An amino blocking reaction was conducted. The obtained polymer was purified by ultrafiltration. In addition, an attempt was made to create nanospheres by encapsulating the polymer with chitosan (CT) in an acidic condition. For the first time, nanospheres were obtained in the reaction between an amino β-cyclodextrin polymer and chitosan. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 1H NMR and ESI-MS methods for confirmation of reaction product and for structural characterization were employed. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies of polymers were also carried out.

Abstract
Vinyl sulfones are privileged motifs known for their biological activity and synthetic utility. Synthetic transformations to efficiently access high-value compounds with these motifs are desired and sought after. Herein, a new procedure is described to form vinyl sulfone-containing compounds by selective functionalization of the C(sp3)-H bond adjacent to the pyridine ring of pharmacologically prevalent picolyl amides with an allenyl sulfone, 1-methyl-4-(propa-1,2-dien-1-ylsulfonyl)benzene. The reaction conditions are mild with no metal catalyst or additives required and display good functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies for this unusual transformation suggest that the reaction operates via a rare pyridine-initiated and p-toluenesulfinate anion-mediated activation of the allenyl sulfone analogous to phosphine-triggered reactions.

Abstract
We report a rational and systematic study devoted to the structural optimisation of a novel class of protease-sensitive fluorescent probes that we recently reported (S. Debieu and A. Romieu, Org. Biomol. Chem., 2017, 15, 2575-2584), based on the "covalent-assembly" strategy and using the targeted enzyme penicillin G acylase as a model protease to build a fluorescent pyronin dye by triggering a biocompatible domino cyclisation-aromatisation reaction. The aim is to identify ad hoc probe candidate(s) that might combine fast/reliable fluorogenic "turn-on" response, full stability in complex biological media and ability to release a second molecule of interest (drug or second fluorescent reporter), for applications in disease diagnosis and therapy. We base our strategy on screening a set of active methylene compounds (C-nucleophiles) to convert the parent probe to various pyronin caged precursors bearing Michael acceptor moieties of differing reactivities. In vitro stability and fluorescent enzymatic assays combined with HPLC-fluorescence analyses provide data useful for defining the most appropriate structural features for these fluorogenic scaffolds depending on the specifications inherent to biological application (from biosensing to theranostics) for which they will be used.
