Page/Page column 73-75, (2021/04/01)
Photoactive probes and probe systems for detecting biological interactions are described. The photoactive probes include probes that combine both photocleavable and photoreactive moieties. The photoactive probe systems can include a first probe comprising a photocatalytic group and a second probe comprising a group that can act as a substrate for the reaction catalyzed by the photocatalytic group. The probes and probe systems can also include groups that can specifically bind to a binding partner on a biological entity of interest and a detectable group or a precursor thereof. The probes and probe systems can detect spatiotemporal interactions of proteins or cells. In some embodiments, the interactions can be detected in live cells. Also described are methods of detecting the biological interactions.

Fast, high-yielding, and selective bioorthogonal "click" reactions employing nontoxic reagents are in high demand for their great utility in the conjugation of biomolecules in live cells. Although a number of click reactions were developed for this purpose, many are associated with drawbacks and limitations that justify the development of alternative systems for both single- or dual-labeling applications. Recent reports have highlighted the potential of boronic ester formation as a bioorthogonal click reaction between abiotic boronic acids and diols. Boronic ester formation is a fast dehydrative process; however it is intrinsically reversible in aqueous medium. We designed and optimized a synergic system based on two bifunctional reagents, a thiosemicarbazide-functionalized nopoldiol and an ortho-acetyl arylboronic acid. Both reagents were shown to be chemically stable and nontoxic to HEK293T cells at concentrations as high as 50 μM. The resulting boronate/thiosemicarbazone adduct is a medium-sized ring that forms rapidly and irreversibly without any catalyst at low μM concentrations, in neutral buffer, with a rate constant of 9 M-1 s-1 as measured by NMR spectroscopy. Control experiments in the presence of competing boronic acids showed no crossover side-products and confirmed the stability and lack of reversibility of the boronate/thiosemicarbazone conjugates. Formation of the conjugates is not affected by the presence of biological diols such as fructose, glucose, and catechol, and the thiosemicarbazide-functionalized nopoldiol is inert to aldehyde electrophiles of the sort found on protein-bound glyoxylyl units. The suitability of this system in the cell-surface labeling of live cells was demonstrated using a SNAP-tag approach to install the boronic acid reagent onto the extracellular domain of the Beta-2 adrenergic receptor in HEK293T cells, followed by incubation with the optimal thiosemicarbazide-functionalized nopoldiol reagent labeled with fluorescein dye. Successful visualization by fluorescence microscopy was possible with a reagent concentration as low as 10 μM, thus confirming the potential of this system in biological applications.

The invention relates to novel beta-chloroethylnitrosourea compounds, and a synthesis method and application thereof. The structure of the beta-chloroethylnitrosourea compounds is disclosed as general formula (II). The in-vitro antitumor screening test on the compounds disclosed as general formula II proves that the compounds disclosed as general formula I have obvious inhibiting action on human cerebral nerve glioma cells SF763, SF767, SF126 and SF188, human colon cancer cell HT29, mouse leukaemia cell L1210 and many other tumor cell lines and have higher tumor inhibiting activity than the existing CENU and CENU/O6-benzylguanine combined medicine.
