Most small-molecule probes and drugs alter cell circuitry by interacting with 1 or more proteins. A complete understanding of the proteins their associated protein complexes, whether compounds are discovered cell-based phenotypic target-based screens, is extremely rare. Such a capability expected to be highly illuminating—providing strong clues mechanisms used small-molecules achieve recognized actions suggesting potential unrecognized actions. We describe powerful method combining...
An aldol-based build/couple/pair (B/C/P) strategy was applied to generate a collection of stereochemically and skeletally diverse small molecules. In the build phase, series asymmetric syn- anti-aldol reactions were performed produce four stereoisomers Boc-protected γ-amino acid. addition, both O-PMB-protected alaninol generated provide chiral amine coupling partner. couple step, eight stereoisomeric amides synthesized by acid building blocks. The subsequently reduced corresponding secondary...

A regioselective intramolecular Huisgen cycloaddition was performed on various azido alkyne substrates giving rise to macrocyclic triazole rings. Using catalyst control, a common intermediate has been converted two structurally unique macrocycles with either 1,5- or 1,4-triazole resulting in an n + 1 ring size. This is the first example of ruthenium-catalyzed cycloaddition.
DNA-encoded library technology has emerged as an efficient interrogation platform for the identification of therapeutic candidates in pharmaceutical settings. Herein, a direct photochemical C–H arylation functionalized heteroarenes is reported.
The synthesis of a 93-residue chemokine, lymphotactin, containing eight sites O-linked glycosylation, was achieved using the technique native chemical ligation. A single GalNAc residue incorporated at each glycosylation site standard Fmoc-chemistry to achieve first total mucin-type glycoprotein. Using this approach quantities homogeneous material were obtained for structural and functional analysis.

DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology is a powerful platform for hit identification in academia and the pharmaceutical industry. When conducting off-DNA resynthesis confirmation after affinity selection, PCR/sequencing, data analysis, one typically assumes "one-to-one" relationship between DNA tag chemical structure of attached small-molecule it encodes. Because synthesis often yields mixture, this approximation increases risk overlooking positive discoveries valuable information. To address...

A critical branch point in mucin-type oligosaccharides is the β1 → 3 glycosidic linkage to core α-N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residue. We report here a strategy for synthesis of O-linked glycopeptide analogues that replaces this with thioether amenable construction by chemoselective ligation.
