Widely used reagents in the peptide functionalization toolbox, Michael acceptors and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) activated esters, are combined in NHS-activated acrylamides for efficient chemoselective amino-sulfhydryl stapling on native peptides and proteins. NHS-activated acrylamides allow for a fast functionalization of N-terminal cysteines (k2=1.54±0.18×103 M?1 s?1) under dilute aqueous conditions, enabling selectivity over other nucleophilic amino acids. Additionally, the versatility of these new bioconjugation handles was demonstrated in the cross-linking of in-chain or C-terminal cysteines with nearby lysine residues. NHS-activated acrylamides are compatible with the use of other cysteine selective reagents, allowing for orthogonal dual-modifications. This strategy was successfully applied to the late-stage functionalization of peptides and proteins with a PEG unit, fluorescent probe, and cytotoxic agent. The level of molecular control offered by NHS-activated acrylamides is expected to promote amino-sulfhydryl stapling technology as a powerful strategy to design functional bioconjugates.

In this study, we performed a visible light-mediated aerobic photo-cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction between aldehydes and N-hydroxyimides using TiO2-AA-Co as a photocatalyst for the synthesis of active esters. The synergistic and selective effects of the cobalt ascorbic acid complex (Co-AA) and TiO2 nanoparticles on the visible-light photocatalytic activity were explored. The method possesses some advantages such as environmentally friendly conditions, easy work-up procedure, reusability, and scalability.

In the present work we describe the synthesis and antiproliferative evaluation of a focused library of 30 novel oxazolidines designed by modification of N-substituent, by ring variation, by alkyl variation or by extension of the structure. It was noted that carbamate and N,O-aminal groups were essential for activity. In general, replacement of the phenyl ring with pyridinyl was not tolerated. However, the introduction of a second phenyl ring with an appropriate spacer at the 3- or 4-position of the first phenyl ring generally enhanced the cytotoxic profile. Among all the prepared compounds, 24 was the most potent compound found in this class, being active on four of five cancer cell lines and it was 5-fold and 10-fold more potent than the lead compounds against HL60 and JURKAT cells, respectively. In addition, it showed relevant activity against MCF-7 and HCT-116 cells, which were resistant to lead. Moreover, 24 showed little antiproliferative activity against VERO, indicating low toxicity to normal cells. Thus, this compound has the potential to be developed as an anticancer agent.
