With or without a co-solvent? highly efficient ultrafast phenanthrenequinone-electron rich alkene (PQ-ERA) photoclick reactions. Chem Sci 2024; 15:11557-11563.

Abstract
The light-induced photocycloaddition of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ) with electron-rich alkenes (ERA), known as the PQ-ERA reaction, is a highly attractive photoclick reaction characterized by its operational simplicity and high biocompatibility. One essential aspect of photoclick reactions is their high rate, however the limited solubility of PQs often requires the use of a co-solvent. Evaluating the effect of different co-solvents on the PQ-ERA reaction and their influence on the reaction rate, we discovered that sulfur-containing compounds, in particular the frequently used solubilizing co-solvent DMSO, quench the triplet state of the PQ. These experimental results, supported by nanosecond-microsecond and ultrafast transient absorption data, show that even minimal amounts of DMSO result in a decreased lifetime of the reactive triplet state, essential for the photoclick reaction. Without DMSO as co-solvent, exceptionally high photoreaction quantum yields ( Φ P up to 93% with only 1 equivalent ERA) and complete conversion in seconds can be achieved. With these outstanding efficiencies, the PQ-ERA reaction can be used without excess ERA and at low light intensities, facilitating photoclick transformations in various future applications.

Abstract
Mechanical forces play critical roles in a wide variety of biological processes and diseases, yet measuring them directly at the molecular level remains one of the main challenges of mechanobiology. Here, we show a strategy to "Dip-conjugate" biologically derived materials at the chemical level to mechanophores, force-responsive molecular entities, using Click-chemistry. Contrary to classical prepolymerization mechanophore incorporation, this new protocol leads to detectable mechanochromic response with as low as 5% strain, finally making mechanophores relevant for many biological processes that have previously been inaccessible. Our results demonstrate the ubiquity of the technique with activation in synthetic polymers, carbohydrates, and proteins under mechanical force, with alpaca wool fibers as a key example. These results push the limits for mechanophore use in far more types of polymeric materials in applications ranging from molecular-level force damage detection to direct and quantitative 3D force measurements in mechanobiology.

Abstract
In classic bioorthogonal labeling experiments, the cell's biosynthetic machinery incorporates bioorthogonal tags, creating tagged biomolecules that are subsequently reacted with a corresponding bioorthogonal partner. This two-step approach labels biomolecules throughout the organism indiscriminate of cell type, which can produce background in applications focused on specific cell populations. In this review, we cover advances in bioorthogonal chemistry that enable targeting of bioorthogonal labeling to a desired cell type. Such cell-selective bioorthogonal labeling is achieved in one of three ways. The first approach restricts labeling to specific cells by cell-selective expression of engineered enzymes that enable the bioorthogonal tag's incorporation. The second approach preferentially localizes the bioorthogonal reagents to the desired cell types to restrict their uptake to the desired cells. Finally, the third approach cages the reactivity of the bioorthogonal reagents, allowing activation of the reaction in specific cells by uncaging the reagents selectively in those cell populations.

Abstract
Implantable and wearable bioelectronic systems are arising growing interest in the medical field. Linking the microelectronic (electronic conductivity) and biological (ionic conductivity) worlds, the biocompatible conductive materials at the electrode/tissue interface are key components in these systems. We herein focus more particularly on resorbable bioelectronic systems, which can safely degrade in the biological environment once they have completed their purpose, namely, stimulating or sensing biological activity in the tissues. Resorbable conductive materials are also explored in the fields of tissue engineering and 3D cell culture. After a short description of polymer-based substrates and scaffolds, and resorbable electrical conductors, we review how they can be combined to design resorbable conductive materials. Although these materials are still emerging, various medical and biomedical applications are already taking shape that can profoundly modify post-operative and wound healing follow-up. Future challenges and perspectives in the field are proposed.

Abstract
Probiotics with diverse and crucial properties and functions have attracted broad interest from many researchers, who adopt intestinal delivery of probiotics to modulate the gut microbiota. However, the major problems faced for the therapeutic applications of probiotics are the viability and colonization of probiotics during their processing, oral intake, and subsequent delivery to the gut. The challenges of simple oral delivery (stability, controllability, targeting, etc.) have greatly limited the use of probiotics in clinical therapies. Nanotechnology can endow the probiotics to be delivered to the intestine with improved survival rate and increased resistance to the adverse environment. Additionally, the progress in synthetic biology has created new opportunities for efficiently and purposefully designing and manipulating the probiotics. In this article, a brief overview of the types of probiotics for intestinal delivery, the current progress of different probiotic encapsulation strategies, including the chemical, physical, and genetic strategies and their combinations, and the emerging single-cell encapsulation strategies using nanocoating methods, is presented. The action mechanisms of probiotics that are responsible for eliciting beneficial effects are also briefly discussed. Finally, the therapeutic applications of engineered probiotics are discussed, and the future trends toward developing engineered probiotics with advanced features and improved health benefits are proposed.

Abstract
We recently described the development and application of a new bioorthogonal conjugation, the triazinium ligation. To explore the wider application of this reaction, in this work, we introduce a general method for synthesizing C3-substituted triazinium salts based on the Liebeskind-Srogl cross-coupling reaction and catalytic thioether reduction. These methods enabled the synthesis of triazinium derivatives for investigating the effect of different substituents on the ligation kinetics and stability of the compounds under biologically relevant conditions. Finally, we demonstrate that the combination of a coumarin fluorophore attached to position C3 with a C5-(4-methoxyphenyl) substituent yields a fluorogenic triazinium probe suitable for no-wash, live-cell labeling. The developed methodology represents a promising synthetic approach to the late-stage modification of triazinium salts, potentially widening their applications in bioorthogonal reactions.

Abstract
The integration of aryl diazonium and carbon nanotube chemistries has offered rich and versatile tools for creating nanomaterials of unique optical and electronic properties in a controllable fashion. The diazonium reaction with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is known to proceed through a radical or carbocation mechanism in aqueous solutions, with deuterated water (D2O) being the frequently used solvent. Here, we show strong water solvent isotope effects on the aryl diazonium reaction with SWCNTs for creating fluorescent quantum defects using water (H2O) and D2O. We found a deduced reaction constant of ∼18.2 times larger value in D2O than in H2O, potentially due to their different chemical properties. We also observed the generation of new defect photoluminescence over a broad concentration range of diazonium reactants in H2O, as opposed to a narrow window of reaction conditions in D2O under UV excitation. Without UV light, the physical adsorption of diazonium on the surface of SWCNTs led to the fluorescence quenching of nanotubes. These findings provide important insights into the aryl diazonium chemistry with carbon nanotubes for creating promising material platforms for optical sensing, imaging, and quantum communication technologies.

Abstract
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) plays a crucial role in the synthesis of nutrients needed to maintain optimal plant growth. Its level is closely linked to the extent of abiotic stress experienced by plants. Moreover, it is also the target of commercial herbicides. Therefore, labeling of HPPD in plants not only enables visualization of its tissue distribution and cellular uptake, it also facilitates assessment of abiotic stress of plants and provides information needed for the development of effective environmentally friendly herbicides. In this study, we created a method for fluorescence labeling of HPPD that avoids interference with the normal growth of plants. In this strategy, a perylene-linked dibenzyl-cyclooctyne undergoes strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition with an azide-containing HPPD ligand. The activation-based labeling process results in a significant emission enhancement caused by the change in the fluorescent forms from an excimer to a monomer. Notably, this activated bioorthogonal strategy is applicable to visualizing HPPD in Arabidopsis thaliana, and assessing its response to multiple abiotic stresses. Also, it can be employed to monitor in vivo levels and locations of HPPD in crops. Consequently, the labeling strategy will be a significant tool in investigations of HPPD-related abiotic stress mechanisms, discovering novel herbicides, and uncovering unknown biological functions.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the necessity to develop fast, highly sensitive and selective virus detection methods. Surface-based DNA-biosensors are interesting candidates for this purpose. Functionalization of solid substrates with DNA must be precisely controlled to achieve the required accuracy and sensitivity. In particular, achieving high hybridization density at the sensing surface is a prerequisite to reach a low limit of detection. We herein describe a strategy based on peptides as anchoring units to immobilize DNA probes at the surface of borosilicate slides. While the coating pathway involves copper-catalyzed click chemistry, a copper-free variation is also reported. The resulting biochips display a high hybridization density (2.9 pmol per cm2) with their targeted gene sequences.

Abstract
The development of reagents that can selectively react in complex biological media is an important challenge. Here we show that N1-alkylation of 1,2,4-triazines yields the corresponding triazinium salts, which are three orders of magnitude more reactive in reactions with strained alkynes than the parent 1,2,4-triazines. This powerful bioorthogonal ligation enables efficient modification of peptides and proteins. The positively charged N1-alkyl triazinium salts exhibit favorable cell permeability, which makes them superior for intracellular fluorescent labeling applications when compared to analogous 1,2,4,5-tetrazines. Due to their high reactivity, stability, synthetic accessibility and improved water solubility, the new ionic heterodienes represent a valuable addition to the repertoire of existing modern bioorthogonal reagents.

Abstract
Peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) have recently emerged as interesting hybrid constructs not only for targeted therapy, but also for the early diagnosis of different pathologies. In most cases, the crucial step in the PDC synthesis is the final conjugation step, where a specific drug is bound to a particular peptide-/peptidomimetic-targeting unit. Thus, this concept paper aims to give a short guide to determining the finest conjugation reaction, by considering in particular the reaction conditions, the stability of the linker and the major pros and cons of each reaction. Based on the recent PDCs reported in literature, the most common and efficient conjugation methods will be systematically presented and compared, generating a short guide to consult while planning the synthesis of a novel peptide-drug conjugate.

Abstract
Synthetic chemical probes are powerful tools for investigating biological processes. They are particularly useful for proteomic studies such as activity-based protein profiling (ABPP). These chemical methods initially used mimics of natural substrates. As the techniques gained prominence, more and more elaborate chemical probes with increased specificity towards given enzyme/protein families and amenability to various reaction conditions were used. Among the chemical probes, peptidyl-epoxysuccinates represent one of the first types of compounds used to investigate the activity of the cysteine protease papain-like family of enzymes. Structurally derived from the natural substrate, a wide body of inhibitors and activity- or affinity-based probes bearing the electrophilic oxirane unit for covalent labeling of active enzymes now exists. Herein, we review the literature regarding the synthetic approaches to epoxysuccinate-based chemical probes together with their reported applications, from biological chemistry and inhibition studies to supramolecular chemistry and the formation of protein arrays.

Abstract
Studies of organometallic reactions in living cells commonly rely on ensemble-averaged measurements, which can obscure the detection of reaction dynamics or location-specific behavior. This information is necessary to guide the design of bioorthogonal catalysts with improved biocompatibility, activity, and selectivity. By leveraging the high spatial and temporal resolution of single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, we have successfully captured single-molecule events promoted by Ru complexes inside live A549 human lung cells. By observing individual allylcarbamate cleavage reactions in real-time, our results revealed that they occur with greater frequency inside the mitochondria than in the non-mitochondria regions. The estimated turnover frequency of the Ru complexes was at least 3-fold higher in the former than the latter. These results suggest that organelle specificity is a critical factor to consider in intracellular catalyst design, such as in developing metallodrugs for therapeutic applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Efficient, sustained and long-term delivery of therapeutics to the brain remains an important challenge to treatment of diseases such as brain cancer, stroke and neurodegenerative disease. Focused ultrasound can assist movement of drugs into the brain, but frequent and long-term use has remained impractical. Single-use intracranial drug-eluting depots show promise but are limited for the treatment of chronic diseases as they cannot be refilled non-invasively. Refillable drug-eluting depots could serve as a long-term solution, but refilling is hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents drug refills from accessing the brain. In this article, we describe how focused ultrasound enables non-invasive loading of intracranial drug depots in mice. METHODS Female CD-1 mice (n = 6) were intracranially injected with click-reactive and fluorescent molecules that are capable of anchoring in the brain. After healing, animals were treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound and microbubbles to temporarily increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier and deliver dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO)-Cy7. The mice were perfused, and the brains were imaged via ex vivo fluorescence imaging. RESULTS Fluorescence imaging indicated small molecule refills are captured by intracranial depots as long as 4 wk after administration and are retained for up to 4 wk based on fluorescence imaging. Efficient loading was dependent on both focused ultrasound and the presence of refillable depots in the brain as absence of either prevented intracranial loading. CONCLUSION The ability to target and retain small molecules at predetermined intracranial sites with pinpoint accuracy provides opportunities to continuously deliver drugs to the brain over weeks and months without excessive BBB opening and with minimal off-target side effects.

Abstract
Silk fibroin has applications in different medical fields such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery and medical devices. Advances in silk chemistry and biomaterial designs have yielded exciting tools for generating new silk-based materials and technologies. Selective chemistries can enhance or tune the features of silk, such as mechanics, biodegradability, processability and biological interactions, to address challenges in medically relevant materials (hydrogels, films, sponges and fibres). This Review details the design and utility of silk biomaterials for different applications, with particular focus on chemistry. This Review consists of three segments: silk protein fundamentals, silk chemistries and functionalization mechanisms. This is followed by a description of different crosslinking chemistries facilitating network formation, including the formation of composite biomaterials. Utility in the fields of tissue engineering, drug delivery, 3D printing, cell coatings, microfluidics and biosensors are highlighted. Looking to the future, we discuss silk biomaterial design strategies to continue to improve medical outcomes.

Abstract
We introduce a visible light-driven (λmax = 451 nm) photo-chemical strategy for labelling of DNA in living HeLa cells via the [2+2] cycloaddition of a styrylquinoxaline moiety, which we incorporate into both the DNA and the fluorescent label. Our methodology offers advanced opportunities for the mild remote labelling of DNA in water while avoiding UV light activation.

Abstract
A concise route for dibenzoazacyclooctynes (DIBACs) synthesis was developed based on Pictet-Spengler reaction and a novel cobalt decomplexation method established for dibenzo-fused cyclooctyne-cobalt complexes. The method allowed for the facile preparation of functionalized DIBACs, including bisDIBAC, which served as an efficient bisreactive linker for protein modification via the double-click reaction.

Abstract
Bio-orthogonal ligations that crosslink living cells with a substrate or other cells require high stability and rapid kinetics to maintain the nature of target cells. In this study, we report water-soluble cyclooctadiyne (WS-CODY) derivatives that undergo an ion-pair enhanced double-click reaction. The cationic side chain of WS-CODY accelerated the kinetics on the azide-modified cell surface due to proximity effect. Cationic WS-CODY was able to crosslink azide-modified, poorly adherent human lung cancer PC-9 cells not only to azide-grafted glass substrates but also to other cells within 5-30 min. We discovered that cell-substrate crosslinking induced the ITGA5 gene expression, whereas cell-cell crosslinking induced the CTNNA1 gene, according to the adhesion partner. Ion-pair-enhanced WS-CODY can be applied to a wide range of cells with established azide modifications and is expected to provide a powerful tool to regulate cell-substrate and cell-cell interactions.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate for the first time that noncanonical DNA can direct macrocyclization-like challenging reactions to synthesize gene modulators. The planar G-quartets present in DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) provide a size complementary reaction platform for the bio-orthogonal macrocyclization of bifunctional azide and alkyne fragments over oligo- and polymerization. G4s immobilized on gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles have been used as target templates to enable easy identification of a selective peptidomimetic macrocycle. Structurally similar macrocycles have been synthesized to understand their functional role in the modulation of gene function. The innate fluorescence of the in situ formed macrocycle has been utilized to monitor its cellular localization using a G4 antibody and its in cell formation from the corresponding azide and alkyne fragments. The successful execution of in situ macrocyclization in vitro and in cells would open up a new dimension for target-directed therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Bacteria constitute a major lifeform on this planet and play numerous roles in ecology, physiology, and human disease. However, conventional methods to probe their activities are limited in their ability to visualize and identify their functions in these diverse settings. In the last two decades, the application of click chemistry to label these microbes has deepened our understanding of bacterial physiology. With the development of a plethora of chemical tools that target many biological molecules, it is possible to track these microorganisms in real-time and at unprecedented resolution. Here, we review click chemistry, including bioorthogonal reactions, and their applications in imaging bacterial glycans, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids using chemical reporters. We also highlight significant advances that have enabled biological discoveries that have heretofore remained elusive.

Abstract
We report herein a versatile and efficient bioorthogonal strategy to actualise targeted delivery and site-specific activation of photosensitisers for precise antitumoural photodynamic therapy. The strategy involved the use of an isonitrile-caged distyryl boron dipyrromethene-based photosensitiser, labelled as NC-DSBDP, of which the photoactivities could be specifically activated upon conversion of the meso ester substituent to carboxylate initiated by the [4 + 1] cycloaddition with a tetrazine derivative. By using two tetrazines conjugated with a galactose moiety or the GE11 peptide, labelled as gal-Tz and GE11-Tz, we could selectively label the cancer cells overexpressed with the asialoglycoprotein receptor and the epidermal growth factor receptor respectively. Upon encountering the internalised NC-DSBDP, these tetrazines triggered the "ester-to-carboxylate" transformation of this compound, activating its fluorescence and reactive oxygen species generation inside the target cells. The bioorthogonal activation was also demonstrated in vivo, leading to effective photo-eradication of the tumour in nude mice.

Abstract
Transition metal catalysts (TMCs), capable of performing bioorthogonal reactions, have been engineered to trigger the formation of bioactive molecules in a controlled manner for biomedical applications. However, the widespread use of TMCs based biorthogonal reactions in vivo is still largely limited owing to their toxicity, poor stability, and insufficient targeting properties. The emergence of nanozymes (nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity), especially bioorthogonal nanozymes that combine the bioorthogonal catalytic activity of TMCs, the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials, and the enzymatic properties of classical nanozymes potentially provide opportunities to address these challenges. Thus, they can be used as multifunctional catalytic platforms for disease treatment and will be far-reaching. In this review, we first briefly recall the classical TMC-based bioorthogonal reactions. Furthermore, this review highlights the diverse strategies for manufacturing bioorthogonal nanozymes and their potential for therapeutic applications, with the goal of facilitating bioorthogonal catalysis in the clinic. Finally, we present challenges and the prospects of bioorthogonal nanozymes in bioorthogonal chemistry.

Abstract
The combination of the ferrocene skeleton with pharmacophores often leads to molecules with interesting biological properties. Five ferrocene-benzofuran hybrids of different structures were synthesized by transition metal catalyzed reactions. The efficiency of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic methods was tested. The products were characterized using 1H, 13C NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, HRMS and cyclic voltammetry. The structure of one of the new compounds was also proved with X-ray crystallography. The new hybrids showed moderate cytotoxicity on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. It is remarkable that the less curable MDA-MB-231 cell line was more sensitive to treatment with three ferrocene derivatives.

Recent advances in materials science and engineering highlight the importance of designing sophisticated biomaterials with well-defined architectures and tunable properties for emerging biomedical applications. Click chemistry, a powerful method allowing specific and controllable bioorthogonal reactions, has revolutionized our ability to make complex molecular structures with a high level of specificity, selectivity, and yield under mild conditions. These features combined with minimal byproduct formation have enabled the design of a wide range of macromolecular architectures from quick and versatile click reactions. Furthermore, copper-free click chemistry has resulted in a change of paradigm, allowing researchers to perform highly selective chemical reactions in biological environments to further understand the structure and function of cells. In living systems, introducing clickable groups into biomolecules such as polysaccharides (PSA) has been explored as a general approach to conduct medicinal chemistry and potentially help solve healthcare needs. De novo biosynthetic pathways for chemical synthesis have also been exploited and optimized to perform PSA-based bioconjugation inside living cells without interfering with their native processes or functions. This strategy obviates the need for laborious and costly chemical reactions which normally require extensive and time-consuming purification steps. Using these approaches, various PSA-based macromolecules have been manufactured as building blocks for the design of novel biomaterials. Clickable PSA provides a powerful and versatile toolbox for biomaterials scientists and will increasingly play a crucial role in the biomedical field. Specifically, bioclick reactions with PSA have been leveraged for the design of advanced drug delivery systems and minimally invasive injectable hydrogels. In this review article, we have outlined the key aspects and breadth of PSA-derived bioclick reactions as a powerful and versatile toolbox to design advanced polymeric biomaterials for biomedical applications such as molecular imaging, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Additionally, we have also discussed the past achievements, present developments, and recent trends of clickable PSA-based biomaterials such as 3D printing, as well as their challenges, clinical translatability, and future perspectives.

Initial Steps towards Spatiotemporal Signaling through Biomaterials Using Click-to-Release Chemistry. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14101991.

Abstract
The process of wound healing is a tightly controlled cascade of events, where severe skin wounds are resolved via scar tissue. This fibrotic response may be diminished by applying anti-fibrotic factors to the wound, thereby stimulating regeneration over scarring. The development of tunable biomaterials that enable spatiotemporal control over the release of anti-fibrotics would greatly benefit wound healing. Herein, harnessing the power of click-to-release chemistry for regenerative medicine, we demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach. For this purpose, one side of a bis-N-hydroxysuccinimide-trans-cyclooctene (TCO) linker was functionalized with human epidermal growth factor (hEGF), an important regulator during wound healing, whereas on the other side a carrier protein was conjugated—either type I collagen scaffolds or bovine serum albumin (BSA). Mass spectrometry demonstrated the coupling of hEGF–TCO and indicated a release following exposure to dimethyl-tetrazine. Type I collagen scaffolds could be functionalized with the hEGF–TCO complex as demonstrated by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. The hEGF–TCO complex was also successfully ligated to BSA and the partial release of hEGF upon dimethyl-tetrazine exposure was observed through Western blotting. This work establishes the potential of click-to-release chemistry for the development of pro-regenerative biomaterials.

Abstract
The covalent immobilisation of enzymes generally involves the use of highly reactive crosslinkers, such as glutaraldehyde, to couple enzyme molecules to each other or to carriers through, for example, the free amino groups of lysine residues, on the enzyme surface. Unfortunately, such methods suffer from a lack of precision. Random formation of covalent linkages with reactive functional groups in the enzyme leads to disruption of the three dimensional structure and accompanying activity losses. This review focuses on recent advances in the use of bio-orthogonal chemistry in conjunction with rec-DNA to affect highly precise immobilisation of enzymes. In this way, cost-effective combination of production, purification and immobilisation of an enzyme is achieved, in a single unit operation with a high degree of precision. Various bio-orthogonal techniques for putting this precision and elegance into enzyme immobilisation are elaborated. These include, for example, fusing (grafting) peptide or protein tags to the target enzyme that enable its immobilisation in cell lysate or incorporating non-standard amino acids that enable the application of bio-orthogonal chemistry.

Abstract
Herein, we report a novel bioorthogonal reaction that hinges on a bridgehead alkene (BHA)-enabled inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition. Readily accessible from natural product β-caryophyllene, the strained BHA displays high reactivity toward the IEDDA reaction while maintaining excellent biocompatibility. The developed IEDDA reaction has been applied to in vitro protein labeling and pretargeted live cell imaging.
