CRISPR/Cas9 has revolutionized several areas of life science; however, methods to control the Cas9 activity are needed for both scientific and therapeutic applications. Anti-CRISPR proteins are known to inhibit the CRISPR/Cas adaptive immunity; however, in vivo delivery of such proteins is problematic. Instead, small-molecule Cas9 inhibitors could serve as useful tools due to their permeable, proteolytically stable, and non-immunogenic nature. Here, we identified a small-molecule ligand with anti-CRISPR/Cas9 activity through a high-throughput screening utilizing an Escherichia coli selection system. Extensive structure-activity relationship studies, which involved a deconstruction-reconstruction strategy, resulted in a range of analogues with significant improvements in the inhibitory activity. Based on NMR and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, we propose that the inhibitory action of these compounds likely results from direct binding to apo-Cas9, preventing Cas9:gRNA complex formation. These molecules may find use as Cas9 modulators in various applications.

We report a new set of reactions based on the unlocking of amides through simple treatment with allyl bromide, creating a common platform for accessing a diverse range of nitrogen-containing functional groups such as primary amides, sulfonamides, primary amines, N-acyl compounds (esters, thioesters, amides), and N-sulfonyl esters. The method has potential industrial applicability, as demonstrated through gram-scale syntheses in batch and in a continuous flow system.

Sulfonamides have played a defining role in the history of drug development and continue to be prevalent today. In particular, primary sulfonamides are common in marketed drugs. Here we describe the direct synthesis of these valuable compounds from organometallic reagents and a novel sulfinylamine reagent, t-BuONSO. A variety of (hetero)aryl and alkyl Grignard and organolithium reagents perform well in the reaction, providing primary sulfonamides in good to excellent yields in a convenient one-step process.
