Sulfur Fluoride Exchange (SuFEx) chemistry represents an emerging class of click reactions that has found broad applications in drug discovery and materials science. Traditionally, SuFEx reactivity has been regarded as the exclusive privilege of sulf...
A practical and efficient Suzuki coupling of phenols has been developed by using trans-NiCl(o-Tol)(PCy3)2/2PCy3 as a catalyst in the presence of tosyl fluoride as an activator. The key for the direct use of phenols lies in the compatibility of the ni...
New N-benzoyl-l-homoserine lactone derivatives bearing a meta-fluorosulfonyl or a meta-methylsulfonyl group have been designed, synthesized and evaluated as quorum sensing (QS) inhibitors. Docking simulations involving the structure of several target...
New 2-(4-(fluorosulfonyloxy)phenyl)benzoxazole (2) was synthesized through the SuFEx click reaction in a two-chamber reactor. The effect of silylation on the yield of the target compound was investigated. The fluorescent properties of compound 2 were...
New 4-(benzoxazol-2-yl)phenyl 3-((3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinon-2-yl)amino)phenyl sulfate was synthesized via the SuFEx click reaction between fluorosulfate-containing 1,4-naphthoquinone and 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole. 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7...
The fluorosulfate derivatives of benzoxazole attract attention since benzoxazole-based compounds have a wide range of biological activities, and the ability of the –SO2F group to react with various functional groups makes it possible to synthesize va...
The synthesis of 2-phenylbenzoxazole fluorosulfate derivatives was carried out using the SuFEx reaction. To study the anticancer properties of the obtained compounds, the cell lines PC-3 (obtained from prostate adenocarcinoma), BT-474, and MCF-7 (bot...
This study presents the synthesis of new fluorosulfate derivatives of 1,4-naphthoquinone by the SuFEx reaction. Anticancer properties of obtained compounds were studied on PC-3 (prostate adenocarcinoma), SKOV-3 (ovarian cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer)...
Novel polymeric MacMillan catalysts were prepared from modified chiral imidazolidin-4-one monomers via sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange chemistry. The resulting polysulfates containing chiral imidazolidin-4-one units could be employed as polymeric organo...
Supramolecular hydrogels are considered promising drug carriers in the tissue engineering field due to their versatile nature. Chitosan hydrogels without chemical cross-linkers have low cytotoxicity and good delivery capacity; however, they have lowe...
Efficient 18F-fluorination procedures for the production of radiopharmaceuticals are urgently needed to satisfy the increasing demand for clinical diagnostics using positron emission tomography (PET). However, the development of PET tracers is often...
Early detection and treatment of cancers can significantly increase patient prognosis and enhance the quality of life of affected patients. The emerging significance of the tumor microenvironment (TME) as a new frontier for cancer diagnosis and thera...
A major obstacle to the therapeutic application of an aptamer is its susceptibility to nuclease digestion. Here, we confirmed the acquisition of relative nuclease resistance of a DNA-type thrombin binding aptamer with a warhead (TBA3) by covalent bin...
SuFEx chemistry is based on the unique reactivity of the sulfonyl fluoride group with a range of nucleophiles. Accordingly, sulfonyl fluorides label multiple nucleophilic amino acid residues, making these reagents popular in both chemical biology and...
Background: The incorporation of radionuclides into peptides and larger biomolecules requires efficient and sometimes biorthogonal reaction conditions, to which click chemistry provides a convenient approach. Methods: Traditionally, click-based radio...
