The recent incorporation of Au chemistry in the bioorthogonal toolbox has opened up new opportunities to deliver biologically independent reactions in living environments. Herein we report that the O-propargylation of the hydroxamate group of the potent HDAC inhibitor panobinostat leads to a vast reduction of its anticancer properties (>500-fold). We also show that this novel prodrug is converted back into panobinostat in the presence of Au catalysts in vitro and in cell culture.

Chemoenzymatic transglycosylation catalyzed by endo-S mutants is a powerful tool for in vitro glycoengineering of therapeutic antibodies. In this paper, we report a one-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycoengineered Herceptin using an egg-yolk sialylglycopeptide (SGP) substrate. Combining this one-pot strategy with novel non-natural SGP derivatives carrying azido or alkyne tags, glycosite-specific conjugation was enabled for the development of new antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The site-specific ADCs and semi-site-specific dual-drug ADCs were successfully achieved and characterized with SDS-PAGE, intact antibody or ADC mass spectrometry analysis, and PNGase-F digestion analysis. Cancer cell cytotoxicity assay revealed that small-molecule drug release of these ADCs relied on the cleavable Val-Cit linker fragment embedded in the structure. These results represent a new approach for glycosite-specific and dual-drug ADC design and rapid synthesis, and also provide the structural requirement for their biologic activities.

Amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s (PEU) are emerging as a class of polymers that have shown promise in regenerative medicine applications. Embodiments of the invention relate to the synthesis of PEUs carrying pendent "clickable" groups on modified tyrosine amino acids. The pendent species include alkyne, azide, alkene, tyrosine-phenol, and ketone groups. PEUs with Mw exceeding 100k Da were obtained via interfacial polycondensation methods and the concentration of pendent groups was varied by copolymerization. The incorporation of derivatizable functionalities is demonstrated using 1H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods. Electrospinning was used to fabricate PEU nanofibers with a diameters ranging from 350 nm to 500 nm. The nanofiber matricies possess mechanical strengths suitable for tissue engineering (Young's modulus: 30045 MPa; tensile stress: 8.51.2 MPa). A series of bioactive peptides and fluorescent molecules were conjugated to the surface of the nanofibers following electrospinning using bio-orthogonal reactions in aqueous media.
