Tak-242 (resatorvid), a Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor, has been identified as a potent suppressor of innate inflammation. As a strategy to target Tak-242 to select tissue, four TLR4-inactive prodrugs were synthesized for activation via two different release mechanisms. Two nitrobenzyl Tak-242 prodrugs released the parent drug upon exposure to the exogenous enzyme nitroreductase, while the two propargyl prodrugs were converted to Tak-242 in the presence of Pd0.

Iridium complexes were prepared which are covalently linked via a bipyridine ligand to a chiral octahydro-1H-4,7-methanoisoindol-1-one skeleton. The skeleton allows for two-point hydrogen bonding to prochiral lactams, which can be processed in iridium-catalyzed photochemical reactions. Attempts to use the iridium complexes in reactions, which typically involve photoinduced electron transfer, failed to provide the desired enantioselectivity. If employed as triplet sensitizers the complexes showed an improved performance and moderate enantioselectivities (up to 29% ee) were achieved in a photochemical epoxide rearrangement.

Three alkyne-containing pyrrolysine derivatives were synthesized and genetically encoded into proteins by a mutant PylRS-tRNA pair with high efficiencies. With these alkyne handles, site-specific dual labeling of proteins can be achieved via a bioorthogonal thiol-yne ligation reaction.
