Abstract
Going beyond the conventional approach of pairwise conjugation between two molecules, the integration of multiple components onto a central scaffold molecule is essential for the development of high-performance molecular materials with multifunctionality. This approach also facilitates the creation of functionalized molecular probes applicable in diverse fields ranging from pharmaceuticals to polymeric materials. Among the various click functional groups, the azido group stands out as a representative click functional group due to its steric compactness, high reactivity, handling stability, and easy accessibility in the context of multi-azide scaffolds. However, the azido groups in multi-azide scaffolds have not been well exploited for site-specific use in molecular conjugation. In fact, multi-azide compounds have been well used to conjugate to the same multiple fragments. To circumvent problems of promiscuous and random coupling of multiple different fragments to multiple azido positions, it is imperative to distinguish specific azido positions and use them orthogonally for molecular conjugation. This review outlines methods and strategies to exploit specific azide positions for molecular conjugation in the presence of multiple azido groups. Illustrative examples covering di-, tri- and tetraazide click scaffolds are included.

Abstract
The role of G-quadruplex (G4) in cellular processes can be investigated by the covalent modification of G4-DNA using alkylating reagents. Controllable alkylating reagents activated by external stimuli can react elegantly and selectively. Herein, we report a chemical activation system that can significantly boost the reaction rate of methylamine-protected vinyl-quinazolinone (VQ) derivative for the alkylation of G4-DNA. The two screened activators can transform low-reactive VQ-NHR' to highly reactive intermediates following the Michael addition mechanism. This approach expands the toolbox of activable G4 alkylating reagents.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a pattern of cell death caused by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides and is closely associated with the occurrence and development of multiple diseases. Acrolein (ACR), one of the final metabolites of lipid peroxidation, is a reactive carbonyl species with strong biotoxicity. Effective detection of ACR is important for understanding its role in the progression of ferroptosis and studying the specific mechanisms of ferroptosis-mediated diseases. However, visualization detection of ACR during ferroptosis has not yet been reported. In this work, the first ratiometric fluorescent probe (HBT-SH) based on 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) was designed for tracing endogenous ACR with an unprecedented regiospecific ACR-induced intramolecular cyclization strategy, which employs 2-aminoethanethiol as an ACR-selective recognition receptor. The experimental results showed that HBT-SH has excellent selectivity, high sensitivity (LOD = 0.26 μM) and good biocompatibility. More importantly, the upregulation of ACR levels was observed during ferroptosis in HeLa cells and zebrafish, indicating that ACR may be a specific active molecule that plays an essential biological role during ferroptosis or may serve as a potential marker of ferroptosis, which has great significance for studying the pathological process and treatment options of ferroptosis-related diseases.

Therapeutic efficacy of 211At-radiolabeled 2,6-diisopropylphenyl azide in mouse models of human lung cancer. Chem Sci 2023; 14:8054-8060.

Abstract
Targeted α-particle therapy (TAT) is an attractive alternative to conventional therapy for cancer treatment. Among the available radionuclides considered for TAT, astatine-211 (211At) attached to a cancer-targeting molecule appears very promising. Previously, we demonstrated that aryl azide derivatives could react selectively with the endogenous acrolein generated by cancer cells to give a diazo compound, which subsequently forms a covalent bond with the organelle of cancer cells in vivo. Herein, we synthesized 211At-radiolabeled 2,6-diisopropylphenyl azide (ADIPA), an α-emitting molecule that can selectively target the acrolein of cancer cells, and investigated its antitumor effect. Our results demonstrate that a single intratumor or intravenous administration of this simple α-emitting molecule to the A549 (human lung cancer) cell-bearing xenograft mouse model, at a low dose (70 kBq), could suppress tumor growth without inducing adverse effects. Furthermore, because acrolein is generally overproduced by most cancer cells, we believe ADIPA is a simple TAT compound that deserves further investigation for application in animal models and humans with various cancer types and stages.
