Abstract
Converting known ligands into photoswitchable derivatives offers the opportunity to modulate compound structure with light and hence, biological activity. In doing so, these probes provide unique control when evaluating G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) mechanism and function. Further conversion of such compounds into covalent probes, known as photoswitchable tethered ligands (PTLs), offers additional advantages. These include localization of the PTLs to the receptor binding pocket. Covalent localization increases local ligand concentration, improves site selectivity and may improve the biological differences between the respective isomers. This work describes chemical, photophysical and biochemical characterizations of a variety of PTLs designed to target the μ-opioid receptor (μOR). These PTLs were modeled on fentanyl, with the lead disulfide-containing agonist found to covalently interact with a cysteine-enriched mutant of this medically-relevant receptor.

Abstract
AbstractFour glycolipids carrying different glycans and a nitroxide free radical spin at the glycan non-reducing end were designed and synthesized from free glucose and maltooligosaccharides by an efficient and streamlined synthetic strategy. The main features of this synthetic strategy include regioselective functionalization of the free carbohydrates and coupling of the radical spin label with functionalized free glycans as the last synthetic step. These glycolipids are useful probes for the study of cell surface glycans by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Moreover, the key synthetic intermediates, free glycolipids carrying a flexible azido group at the glycan non-reducing end, are widely useful platforms for accessing glycolipids with other molecular labels.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal phosphines were introduced in the context of the Staudinger ligation over 20 years ago. Since that time, phosphine probes have been used in myriad applications to tag azide-functionalized biomolecules. The Staudinger ligation also paved the way for the development of other phosphorus-based chemistries, many of which are widely employed in biological experiments. Several reviews have highlighted early achievements in the design and application of bioorthogonal phosphines. This review summarizes more recent advances in the field. We discuss innovations in classic Staudinger-like transformations that have enabled new biological pursuits. We also highlight relative newcomers to the bioorthogonal stage, including the cyclopropenone-phosphine ligation and the phospha-Michael reaction. The review concludes with chemoselective reactions involving phosphite and phosphonite ligations. For each transformation, we describe the overall mechanism and scope. We also showcase efforts to fine-tune the reagents for specific functions. We further describe recent applications of the chemistries in biological settings. Collectively, these examples underscore the versatility and breadth of bioorthogonal phosphine reagents.

Abstract
Two photoactivatable dicarbonyl ruthenium(II) complexes based on an amide-functionalised bipyridine scaffold (4-position) equipped with an alkyne functionality or a green-fluorescent BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) dye have been prepared and used to investigate their light-induced decarbonylation. UV/Vis, FTIR and 13 C NMR spectroscopies as well as gas chromatography and multivariate curve resolution alternating least-squares analysis (MCR-ALS) were used to elucidate the mechanism of the decarbonylation process. Release of the first CO molecule occurs very quickly, while release of the second CO molecule proceeds more slowly. In vitro studies using two cell lines A431 (human squamous carcinoma) and HEK293 (human embryonic kidney cells) have been carried out in order to characterise the anti-proliferative and anti-apoptotic activities. The BODIPY-labelled compound allows for monitoring the cellular uptake, showing fast internalisation kinetics and accumulation at the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.

Abstract
A series of novel 1,2,3-triazole nucleosides linked to DNA nucleobases were prepared via copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of N-9 propargylpurines or N-1 propargylpyrimidines with the tolouyl protected 1-azido-2-deoxyribofuranose 2 followed by treatment with NaOMe/MeOH or aq NH3. The antiviral activity of such compounds against selected RNA viruses is reported. The strongly fluorescent 1,2,3-triazole compounds 16 and 17 were synthesized from propargylated uracil 1a and propargylated adenine 1c with coumarin azide 15, and the fluorescence properties were studied. The nucleosides 4 and 6 were incorporated into DNA using the phosphoramidite building blocks and employed in solid-phase synthesis. Melting experiments demonstrated that such 1,2,3-triazole nucleosides have a negative impact on the duplex stability when they are placed opposite to the canonical bases as well as abasic sites. The nucleobases attached to the triazole ring cannot involve in the base pair formation with the opposite bases because of the structural variations induced by the triazole ring. The stacking of such nucleosides when positioned at the end of oligonucleotides retains the stability of DNA duplexes. The duplex structures were studied by molecular modelling which support the results of melting experiments.

Abstract
5-(Octa-1,7-diynyl)-2'-deoxyuridine was converted into the furano-dU derivative 7 by copper-catalyzed cyclization; the pyrolodC-derivative 3 was formed upon ammonolysis. The bicyclic nucleosides 3 and 7 as well as the corresponding non-cyclic precursors 4 and 6 all containing terminal C[triple bond]C bonds were conjugated with the non-fluorescent 3-azido-7-hydroxycoumarin 5 employing the copper(I)-catalyzed Huisgen-Sharpless-Meldal cycloaddition "click reaction". Strongly fluorescent 1H-1,2,3-triazole conjugates (30-33) are formed incorporating two fluorescent reporters-the pyrdC nucleoside and the coumarin moiety. Oligonucleotides incorporating 6-alkynyl and 6-alkyl 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one nucleosides (3 and 2f) have been prepared by solid-phase synthesis using the phosphoramidite building blocks 10 and 13 ; the pyrrolo-dC oligonucleotides are formed during ammonia treatment. The duplex stability of oligonucleotides containing 3 and related derivatives was studied. Oligonucleotides with terminal triple bonded nucleosides such as 3 are more stabilizing than those lacking a side chain with terminal unsaturation; open-chain derivatives (4) are even more efficient. The click reaction was also performed on oligonucleotides containing the pyrdC-derivative and the fluorescence properties of nucleosides, oligonucleotides and their coumarin conjugates were studied.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides incorporating 5-(octa-1,7-diynyl)-2'-deoxycytidine 1a, 5-(octa-1,7-diynyl)-2'-deoxyuridine 2a and 7-deaza-7-(octa-1,7-diynyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine 3a, 7-deaza-7-(octa-1,7-diynyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine 4a were prepared. For this, the phosphoramidites 7, 10, and 13 were synthesized and employed in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. The octa-1,7-diynyl nucleosides 1a- 4a were obtained from their corresponding iodo derivatives using the palladium-assisted Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. The Tm values demonstrated that DNA duplexes containing octa-1,7-diynyl nucleosides show a positive influence on the DNA duplex stability when they are introduced at the 5-position of pyrimidines or at the 7-position of 7-deazapurines. The terminal alkyne residue of oligonucleotides were selectively conjugated to the azide residue of the nonfluorescent 3-azido-7-hydroxycoumarin ( 38) using the protocol of copper(I)-catalyzed [3 + 2] Huisgen--Sharpless--Meldal cycloaddition "click chemistry" resulting in the formation of strongly fluorescent 1,2,3-triazole conjugates. The fluorescence properties of oligonucleotides with covalently linked coumarin--nucleobase assemblies were investigated. Among the four modified bases, the 7-deazapurines show stronger fluorescence quenching than that of pyrimidines.
