A unique reaction between thiols (RSH) and alkyl sulfonylbenzothiazole was discovered. This reaction was specific for thiols and produced a sulfinic acid (RSOH) as the intermediate, which further triggered an intramolecular cyclization to release a -OH containing payload. This reaction was used to develop thiol-triggered fluorescent sensors and prodrugs. The modular design of this template provides tunability of the release profiles of the payloads.
研究发现了巯基(RSH)和烷基磺酰基苯并噻唑之间的独特反应。该反应特异性针对巯基,并产生亚磺酸(RSOH)作为中间体,进一步引发分子内环化,释放含有-OH 的有效载荷。该反应被用于开发巯基触发的荧光传感器和前药。该模板的模块化设计提供了有效载荷释放谱的可调节性。
