The antibody pretargeting approach for radioimmunotherapy (RIT) using inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition (IEDDA) constitutes an emerging theranostic approach for solid cancers. However, IEDDA pretargeting has not reached clinical trial. The major limitation of the IEDDA strategy depends largely on trans-cyclooctene (TCO) stability. Indeed, TCO may isomerize into the more stable but unreactive cis-cyclooctene (CCO), leading to a drastic decrease of IEDDA efficiency. We have thus developed both efficient and reproducible synthetic pathways and analytical follow up for (PEGylated) TCO derivatives, providing high TCO isomeric purity for antibody modification. We have set up an original process to limit the isomerization of TCO to CCO before the mAbs’ functionalization to allow high TCO/tetrazine cycloaddition.

A macrocyclic sulfate (MCS)-based approach to monodisperse poly(ethylene glycols) (M-PEGs) and their monofunctionalized derivatives has been developed. Macrocyclization of oligo(ethylene glycols) (OEGs) provides MCS (up to a 62-membered macrocycle) as versatile precursors for a range of monofunctionalized M-PEGs. Through iterative nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of MCS without performing group protection and activation, a series of M-PEGs, including the unprecedented 64-mer (2850Da), can be readily prepared. Synthetic simplicity coupled with versatility of this new strategy may pave the way for broader applications of M-PEGs. Macrocycles make synthesis easier: Convenient macrocyclization of the OEGs provides versatile macrocyclic sulfates. These compounds are cornerstones for both monofunctionalization of OEGs and highly efficient synthesis of monodisperse PEGs and derivatives, including an unprecedented 64-mer.
A cost-effective, column-free route to ethylene glycol oligomers EG 6, EG10, and EG12

Although monodisperse ethylene glycol (EG) oligomers are important in a wide range of applications (ranging from drug therapeutics to materials science and engineering), their cost - especially for longer EG oligomers is often prohibitive. For example, decaethylene, EG10, and dodecaethylene, EG12, glycols cost hundreds of dollars per gram, and are only available from most vendors, including Sigma-Aldrich, in the polydispersed form. This high-cost is, in large part, due to laborious nature of synthesis and, above all, purification steps involved. Therefore, the motivation of our work was to design a cost-effective route to the EG oligomers that would altogether avoid the column-chromatography purification. This was achieved by a simple synthetic strategy, which combines bidirectional growth of the EG chains with the protection scheme using easy-to-remove trityl groups.
