Developing chemically recyclable polymers represents a greener alternative to landfill and incineration and offers a closed-loop strategy toward a circular materials economy. However, the synthesis of chemically recyclable polymers is still plagued with certain fundamental limitations, including trade-offs between the monomer's cyclizability and polymerizability, as well as between polymer's depolymerizability and properties. Here we describe the subtle O-to-S substitution, dithiolactone monomers derived from abundant feedstock α-amino acids can demonstrate appealing chemical properties different from those of dilactone, including accelerated ring closure, augmented kinetics polymerizability, high depolymerizability and selectivity, and thus constitute a unique class of polythioester materials exhibiting controlled molecular weight (up to 100.5 kDa), atactic yet high crystallinity, structurally diversity, and chemical recyclability. These polythioesters well addresses the formidable challenges of developing chemically recyclable polymers by having an unusual set of desired properties, including easy-to-make monomer from ubiquitous feedstock, and high polymerizability, crystallinity and precise tunability of physicochemical performance, as well as high depolymerizability and selectivity. Computational studies explain why O-to-S modification of polymer backbone enables dovetailing desirable, but conflicting, performance into one polymer structure.

Backbone-cyclic peptides are an attractive class for therapeutic development. However, in vitro display technologies coupled with ribosomal synthesis are intrinsically inapplicable to such "phenotypes" because of loss of the C-terminal peptide region linking to "genotype". Here, we report a methodology enabling the display of backbone-cyclic peptides. To achieve this, genetic code reprogramming was utilized to implement a rearrangement strategy involving the ribosomal incorporation of a designer initiator containing a thiazolidine-protected cysteine and 2-chloroacetoamide (ClAc) side chain, followed by an α-thio acid and cysteine at downstream positions. Upon expression of the linear peptide, spontaneous thioester rearrangement occurs between the α-thioester and the thiol group of the cysteine, liberating the α-thio group and resulting in cross-linking to the upstream ClAc side-chain group. Then selective deprotection of the thiazolidine-protected cysteine immediately promotes intramolecular native chemical ligation, as demonstrated for various sequences and ring sizes. In this approach, the backbone-cyclic peptides retain their C-terminal peptide regions via the side-chain thioether covalent linkage, making them compatible with in vitro display.

The bromodomain and extra-terminal proteins (BET) have emerged as promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We report the design, synthesis and evaluation of a new series of benzoxazinone-containing 3,5-dimethylisoxazole derivatives as selective BET inhibitors. One of the new compounds, (R)-12 (Y02234), binds to BRD4(1) with a Kd value of 110 nM and blocks bromodomain and acetyl lysine interactions with an IC50 value of 100 nM. It also exhibits selectivity for BET over non-BET bromodomain proteins and demonstrates reasonable anti-proliferation and colony formation inhibition effect in prostate cancer cell lines such as 22Rv1 and C4-2B. The BRD4 inhibitor (R)-12 also significantly suppresses the expression of ERG, Myc and AR target gene PSA at the mRNA level in prostate cancer cells. Treatment with (R)-12 significantly suppresses the tumor growth of prostate cancer (TGI = 70%) in a 22Rv1-derived xenograft model. These data suggest that compound (R)-12 is a promising lead compound for the development of a new class of therapeutics for the treatment of CRPC.
