"Click chemistry" was used in this paper to get a novel hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel by modified HA molecules' side chains with azide and alkynyl groups to perform "Click" reaction. The HA hydrogel can be achieved "in situ" injection gel. The properties of the HA hydrogel can be controlled by controlling the amount of alkynyl and azide groups on side chains to achieve controllable HA hydrogel by HA molecular design. The reactant, product and hydrogel were characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR and morphology observation to determine the processes of reaction and can hydrogel formation.

An approach to the synthesis of the novel molecular brushes with a polyimide (PI) backbone and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) side chains was developed. To obtain such copolymers, a combination of various synthesis methods was used, including polycondensation, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), ring opening polymerization (ROP), and Cu (I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition (CuAAC). ATRP of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) on PI macroinitiator followed by ROP of ε-caprolactone (CL) provided a “brush on brush” structure PI-g-(PHEMA-g-PCL). For the synthesis of PI-g-PCL two synthetic routes combining ROP and CuAAC were compared: (1) polymer-analogous transformations of a multicenter PI macroinitiator with an initiating hydroxyl group separated from the main chain by a triazole ring followed by ROP of CL, or (2) a separate synthesis of macromonomers with the desirable functional groups (polyimide with azide groups and PCL with terminal alkyne groups), followed by a click reaction. Results showed that the first approach allows to obtain graft copolymers with a PI backbone and relatively short PCL side chains. While the implementation of the second approach leads to a more significant increase in the molecular weight, but unreacted linear PCL remains in the system. Obtained macroinitiators and copolymers were characterized using 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy, their molecular weight characteristics were determined by SEC with triple detection. TGA and DSC were used to determine their thermal properties. X-ray scattering data showed that the introduction of a polyimide block into the polycaprolactone matrix did not change the degree of crystallinity of PCL.

The new electronically active poly(vinylene sulfide)s containing dialkylaniline-substituted electron-rich alkynes in the side chains were designed and synthesized by the ‘thiol-click’ polymerization.

Copper(I)-promoted "click" cyclization in the presence of TBTA afforded nucleoside macrocycles in very high yields (≈70%) without using protecting groups. To this end, dU and dC derivatives functionalized at the 5-position of the nucleobase with octadiynyl side chains and with azido groups at the 5’-position of the sugar moieties were synthesized. The macrocycles display freely accessible Watson–Crick recognition sites. The conformation of the 16-membered macrocycle was deduced from X-ray analysis and 1H,1H-NMR coupling constants. The sugar conformation (N vs S) was different in solution as compared to the solid state.

ABSTRACTThe analysis of DNA repair mechanisms is of fundamental importance to understand how cells remove DNA damage and maintain their genome stability. Investigating the dynamic association of proteins at sites of active DNA synthesis has been successfully performed at DNA replication forks, providing important information on the process, and allowing the identification of new players acting at these sites. However, the applicability of these studies to DNA repair events at sites of nascent unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in non-proliferating cells has been never tested. Here, we describe the analysis of dynamics association of protein participating in nucleotide excision repair (NER), and in other DNA repair processes, at sites of nascent UDS in non-proliferating cells, to avoid interference by DNA replication. Labeling with 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) after DNA damage, followed by click reaction to biotinylate these sites, permits the analysis of dynamic association of proteins, such as DNA polymerases δ and κ, as well as PCNA, to active DNA repair synthesis sites. The suitability of this technique to identify new factors present at active UDS sites is illustrated by two examples of proteins previously unknown to participate in the UV-induced DNA repair process.
