Abstract:
Disclosed is the use of the reactive components of the inverse electron-demand Diels Alder reaction for chemical masking and unmasking in vitro. This can be applied in complex chemical reactions and, particularly in the synthesis of biomolecules, e.g. on solid supports. The reactice components are a dienophile, particularly a trans-cyclooctene, and a diene, particularly a tetrazine.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to improved methods for preparing cyclooctenes and conjugates thereof. In particular, methods for regioselective modification and/or enantiomerically enriching compounds are disclosed. In addition, compounds prepared by these methods are disclosed as well.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an advancement in provoked chemical cleavage. Thereby the invention provides the use of a diene as a chemically cleavable group attached to a Construct, and the use of a dienophile to provoke the release of the Construct by allowing the diene to react with a dienophile capable of undergoing an inverse electron demand Diels Alder reaction with the diene. The invention includes a kit for releasing a Construct C A bound to a Trigger T R , the kit comprising a tetrazine and a dienophile, wherein the Trigger is the tetrazine. The invention also includes the use of the formation of a pyridazine by reacting a tetrazine comprising a Construct C A bound thereto and a dienophile, as a chemical tool for the release, in a chemical, biological or physiological environment, of said Construct.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a liposome, comprising a lipid bilayer enclosing a cavity, wherein the bilayer comprises a channel protein releasably linked to an eight-membered non-aromatic cyclic alkenylene group, preferably a cyclooctene group, and more preferably a trans-cyclooctene group. The liposomes are used in a kit comprising the liposome, the liposomal membrane of which comprises a channel protein linked to a Trigger, and an Activator for the Trigger, wherein the Trigger comprises the eight- membered non-aromatic cyclic alkenylene group, and the Activator comprises a diene.
