Usage

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Boc-NH-PEG2-NH-Boc is used as a protecting group for peptide synthesis to facilitate the process and improve the yield of the desired peptide product. The acid lability of the Boc groups allows for selective deprotection under controlled conditions, enabling the stepwise assembly of complex peptide sequences.
Used in Drug Delivery Systems:
In the field of drug delivery, Boc-NH-PEG2-NH-Boc is utilized as a component in the design of prodrugs or drug conjugates. The hydrophilic PEG spacer can improve the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs, while the Boc protecting groups can be used to mask the reactivity of functional groups until the drug reaches its target site, where the Boc groups can be removed by cellular enzymes or acidic conditions.
Used in Bioconjugation and Chemical Synthesis:
Boc-NH-PEG2-NH-Boc serves as a versatile linker in bioconjugation chemistry, allowing for the attachment of various biologically active molecules, such as peptides, proteins, or small molecules, to a PEG backbone. This can enhance the stability, solubility, and circulation time of these molecules in biological systems, while the Boc protecting groups provide a means to control the reactivity and timing of the conjugation process.
Used in Materials Science:
In materials science, Boc-NH-PEG2-NH-Boc can be employed as a building block for the development of novel polymeric materials with tailored properties. The hydrophilic PEG spacer can improve the compatibility of the polymer with aqueous environments, while the Boc protecting groups can be used to control the polymerization process or to introduce functional groups at specific locations within the polymer structure.

Flow-mediated synthesis of Boc, Fmoc, and Dd iv monoprotected diamines

A series of monoprotected aliphatic diamines (21 examples) were synthesized via continuous flow methods. The carbamates and enamines were obtained in 45-91% yields using a 0.5 mm diameter PTFE tubular flow reactor. Using readily accessible protecting group precursors, the procedure serves as an attractive alternative to existing batch-mode synthetic routes by providing direct, multigram access to N-Boc-, N-Fmoc-, and N-Ddiv-protected compounds with productivity indexes of 1.2-3.6 g/h.

METHODS OF MAKING AND USING NANOSTRUCTURES

The invention provides methods for attaching drugs, dyes or radiolabels to bis-MTX. This method can be used to prepare bis-MTX analogs that can be used to deliver agents, such as nanoparticles, drugs, dyes or radiolabels, to cells.

Evaluation of the synthesis of sialic Acid-PAMAM glycodendrimers without the use of sugar protecting Groups, and the Anti-HIV-1 properties of these compounds

A study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of synthesizing six sialic acid-PAMAM glycodendrimers using unprotected sialic acid in as few as 1-4 steps using two different reaction pathways, and to assess the sulfated derivatives for anti-HIV activity. The syntheses were accomplished through either the direct attachment of the sialic acid carboxyl group to amine-terminated PAMAM (a divergent-like approach) using BOP coupling, or by first reacting sialic acid with a polar bifunctional spacer molecule, attaching the sugar-linker to carboxy-terminated PAMAM (a convergent-like approach), and again using BOP-mediated coupling reactions. It was hypothesized that the latter approach would be the most successful method, as any steric congestion between the sialic acid and the PAMAM would be minimized using an intervening polar linker. However, the divergent-like synthesis proved to be the superior method, resulting in 11.4%, 14%, and 28% of the fully substituted generations 0, 1, and 2 sialic acid-PAMAM conjugates, respectively, as compared to 6.4% of only the generation ?0.5 sialic acid-linker-PAMAM conjugate for the convergent-like method. Upon sulfation of the four glycodendrimers, binding capabilities to the recombinant HIV protein, gp120, were assessed using an ELISA assay. Compounds that showed promising binding characteristics were then further assessed for inhibition of HIV-1 infection using a well-characterized luciferase reporter gene neutralization assay. The generation 2 sulfated sialic acid-PAMAM glycodendrimer, sulfo-6, bearing 16 sialic acids with 11 sulfate groups incorporated at 4.03% sulfur content by weight, was found to inhibit all four HIV-1 strains tested in the low micromolar range.

Lipid fluorination enables phase separation from fluid phospholipid bilayers

To probe the effect of lipid fluorination on the formation of lipid domains in phospholipid bilayers, several new fluorinated and non-fluorinated synthetic lipids were synthesised, and the extent of phase separation of these lipids from phospholipid bilayers of different compositions was determined. At membrane concentrations as low as 1% mol/mol, both fluorinated and non-fluorinated lipids were observed to phase separate from a gel-phase (solid ordered) phospholipid matrix, but bilayers in a liquid disordered state caused no phase separation; if the gel-phase samples were heated above the transition temperature, then phase separation was lost. We found incorporation of perfluoroalkyl groups into the lipid enhanced phase separation, to such an extent that phase separation was observed from cholesterol containing bilayers in the liquid ordered phase.
