Click chemistry continues to gain popularity and is used in a variety of research fields with significant contributions to the
Copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC): CuAAC is a cornerstone of "click" chemistry, involving the reaction of azides with terminal alkynes in the presence of a copper(I) catalyst to form 1,2,3-triazoles. Renowned for its efficiency, selectivity, and versatility, CuAAC has broad applications across chemistry and biology. However, it is not without limitations; challenges include potential copper toxicity in biological systems and the difficulty of removing residual copper from final products. These issues are particularly significant in pharmaceutical and sensitive biomolecular applications, necessitating strategies to mitigate copper-related concerns.
Strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC): SPAAC has become a prominent bioorthogonal reaction, widely utilized in fields such as chemical biology, drug discovery, and materials science. This reaction stands out for its exceptional efficiency, speed, selectivity, and compatibility with living systems. Unlike other reactions, SPAAC does not require external stimuli such as light, heat, or catalysts. Its mechanism leverages the inherent strain energy of cyclic alkynes, which react readily with azides. Over time, diverse cyclooctyne derivatives have been engineered and optimized to enhance SPAAC reactivity and broaden its applications.

The concurrent binding of a degrader molecule to two proteins—the protein of interest (POI) and an E3 ubiquitin
The design of effective PROTACs (proteolysis-targeting chimeras) demands precise control over linker length, shape, and attachment points to optimize binding affinity and functional efficacy. However, the heterobifunctional nature of PROTACs introduces considerable synthetic challenges, and computational tools often fall short in accurately predicting structure-activity relationships (SAR). Consequently, SAR exploration is primarily empirical, necessitating substantial investments of time and resources.
To address the challenges associated with PROTAC design and accelerate development, we have established a robust library of pre-formed E3-ligand linker intermediates. This resource enables the efficient synthesis of a wide array of diverse PROTAC candidates, facilitating their rapid evaluation and optimization for targeted protein degradation applications.
