Herein, we give the very first example for the development of a fluorogenic molecular probe that combines the two-point binding specificity of biarsenical-based dyes with the robustness of bioorthogonal click-chemistry. This proof-of-principle study reports on the synthesis and fluorogenic characterization of a new, double-quenched, bis-azide fluorogenic probe suitable for bioorthogonal two-point tagging of small peptide tags by double strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The presented probe exhibits remarkable increase in fluorescence intensity when reacted with bis-cyclooctynylated peptide sequences, which could also serve as possible self-labeling small peptide tag motifs. The first example of a fluorogenic molecular probe has been developed that combines the two-point binding specificity of biarsenical-based dyes with the robustness of bioorthogonal click-chemistry. The new, double-quenched, bis-azide fluorogenic probe can bind to small bis-cyclooctynylated peptide tags through a double strain-promoted click reaction (see figure; SPAAC=strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition). The probe exhibits remarkable increase in fluorescence intensity with peptide sequences that can serve as possible self-labeling small peptide tags.

In this study, four series of compounds with benzoxazolone and benzothiazolone cores were designed, synthesized and evaluated as multifunctional agents against Alzheimer's disease (AD). Additionally, in order to shed light on the effect of the carbonyl groups of benzoxazolone/benzothiazolone, benzoxazole/benzothiazole-containing analogues were also synthesized and evaluated. Inhibition potency of all final compounds towards cholinesterase enzymes and their antioxidant activity were tested. Subsequently, the anti-inflammatory activity, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and Aβ aggregation inhibition tests were also performed for selected compounds. The results indicated that compounds 11c, a pentanamide derivative with benzothiazolone core, and 14b, a keton derivative with benzothiazolone core, were considered as promising multi-functional agents for further investigation against AD. The reversibility, kinetic and molecular docking studies were also performed for the compounds with the highest AChE 14b (eeAChE IC50 = 0.34 μM, huAChE IC50 = 0.46 μM) and BChE 11c (eqBChE IC50 = 2.98 μM, huBChE IC50 = 2.56 μM) inhibitory activities.

Bioluminescence imaging with luciferase-luciferin pairs is a popular method for visualizing biological processes in vivo. Unfortunately, most luciferins are difficult to access and remain prohibitively expensive for some imaging applications. Here we report cost-effective and efficient syntheses of d-luciferin and 6′-aminoluciferin, two widely used bioluminescent substrates. Our approach employs inexpensive anilines and Appel's salt to generate the luciferin cores in a single pot. Additionally, the syntheses are scalable and can provide multi-gram quantities of both substrates. The streamlined production and improved accessibility of luciferin reagents will bolster in vivo imaging efforts. This journal is
