Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2022; 61:e202114016. [PMID: 34953094 PMCID: PMC9306542 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202114016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Oligonucleotides containing cleavable linkers have emerged as versatile tools to achieve stimulus-responsive and site-specific cleavage of DNA. However, the limitations of previously reported cleavable linkers including photolabile and disulfide linkers have restricted their applications in vivo. Inspired by the cathepsin B-sensitive dipeptide linkers in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) such as Adcetris, we have developed Val-Ala-02 and Val-Ala-Chalcone phosphoramidites for the automated synthesis of enzyme-cleavable oligonucleotides. Cathepsin B digests Val-Ala-02 and Val-Ala-Chalcone linkers efficiently, enabling cleavage of oligonucleotides into two components or release of small-molecule payloads. Based on the prior success of dipeptide linkers in ADCs, we believe that these dipeptide linker phosphoramidites will promote new clinical applications of therapeutic oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Conditionally activated ("caged") oligonucleotides provide useful spatiotemporal control for studying dynamic biological processes, e.g., regulating in vivo gene expression or probing specific oligonucleotide targets. This review summarizes recent advances in caging strategies, which involve different stimuli in the activation step. Oligo cyclization is a particularly attractive caging strategy, which simplifies the probe design and affords oligo stabilization. Our laboratory developed an efficient synthesis for circular caged oligos, and a circular caged antisense DNA oligo was successfully applied in gene regulation. A second technology is Transcriptome In Vivo Analysis (TIVA), where caged oligos enable mRNA isolation from single cells in living tissue. We highlight our development of TIVA probes with improved caging stability. Finally, we illustrate the first protease-activated oligo probe, which was designed for caspase-3. This expands the toolkit for investigating the transcriptome under a specific physiologic condition (e.g., apoptosis), particularly in specimens where light activation is impractical.

Abstract
Protection and deprotection of the 2'-hydroxyl group of RNAs are critical for RNA-based drug discovery. This paper reports development of a bioreduction labile protecting group of the 2'-hydroxyl group in RNA. After the reduction of the nitro group in a chemical or enzymatic manner, the protecting groups were removed spontaneously. The attachment of electron-donating groups to the benzene ring or benzylic carbon enabled fast and controllable deprotection of the 2'-hydroxyl protecting group under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Cucurbitacin B (CuB), a highly cytotoxic constituent of the Cucurbitaceae plant, was identified to exhibit potent inhibitory activity against human cancer cells as well as normal cells. This disadvantage hampers the possibility of developing this compound into an anticancer drug candidate. In this work, several bioreductive prodrugs of CuB were designed to reduce toxicity to normal cells while maintaining the cytotoxic effect to cancer cells. Embedded with a bioreductive delivery and cleavable system in cancer tissues, cucurbitacin B-based prodrugs 1, 2, and 3 were synthesized and evaluated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Compared with the parent CuB, prodrug 1 was found to significantly reduce the toxicity down to 310-fold lower against noncancerous cells. LC-MS analyses show that prodrug 1 efficiently releases the parent compound in the reductase-overexpressed MCF-7 cells. In addition, prodrug 1 shows satisfactory and comparable effectiveness in controlling tumor growth as that by tamoxifen in the 4T1 xenograft mice model.

Abstract
We have developed a Rh(III)-catalyzed cyclopropanation of unactivated olefins initiated by an alkenyl C-H activation. A variety of 1,1-disubstituted olefins undergo efficient cyclopropanation with a slight excess of alkene stoichiometry. A series of mechanistic interrogations implicate a metal-carbene as an intermediate.

Abstract
In recent years, nucleic acid-based drug therapeutics have gained considerable attention for their potential in the treatment of various diseases. However, their therapeutic value is greatly hindered by the challenge of delivering them into cells. One possible strategy to improve cellular uptake is the use of "prodrug-type oligonucleotide medicine" in which negatively charged phosphodiester moieties are masked by bio-labile protecting groups. In this review, we describe our recent studies related to bio-labile protecting groups for phosphodiester moieties in the development of prodrug-type oligonucleotide medicines.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are vital elements of the mammalian immune system that function by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), bridging innate and adaptive immunity. They have become a prominent therapeutic target for the treatment of infectious diseases, cancer, and allergies, with many TLR agonists currently in clinical trials or approved as immunostimulants. Numerous studies have shown that conjugation of TLR agonists to other molecules can beneficially influence their potency, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, or function. The functional properties of TLR agonist conjugates, however, are highly dependent on the ligation strategy employed. Here, we review the chemical structural requirements for effective functional TLR agonist conjugation. In addition, we provide similar analysis for those that have yet to be conjugated. Moreover, we discuss applications of covalent TLR agonist conjugation and their implications for clinical use.

Abstract
We developed a novel technique for the efficient conjugation of oligonucleotides with various alkyl azides such as fluorescent dyes, biotin, cholesterol, N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), etc. using copper-catalysed alkyne-azide cycloaddition on the solid phase and CuI·P(OEt)3 as a catalyst. Conjugation is carried out in an oligonucleotide synthesizer in fully automated mode and is coupled to oligonucleotide synthesis and on-column deprotection. We also suggest a set of reagents for the construction of diverse conjugates. The sequential double-click procedure using a pentaerythritol-derived tetraazide followed by the addition of a GalNAc or Tris-GalNAc alkyne gives oligonucleotide-GalNAc dendrimer conjugates in good yields with minimal excess of sophisticated alkyne reagents. The approach is suitable for high-throughput synthesis of oligonucleotide conjugates ranging from fluorescent DNA probes to various multi-GalNAc derivatives of 2'-modified siRNA.

Abstract
A versatile conjugatable/bioreduction-responsive protecting group for phosphodiester moieties was designed, synthesized and incorporated into oligonucleotide strands. Subsequently, controlled pore glass-supported oligonucleotides were conjugated to a variety of functional molecules using a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The functionalized protecting groups were deprotected by a nitroreductase/NADH reduction system to give "naked" oligonucleotides. This method allowed the synthesis of oligonucleotide prodrugs bearing the functionalized protecting group at the desired sites and desired residues on oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN) backbones.
