Sun L, Gai Y, McNitt C, Sun J, Zhang X, Xing W, et al.
J Org Chem . 2020 Apr; 85(9):5771-5777. PMID: 32223160
A novel photo-click-based platform has been developed for rapid screening and affinity optimization of heterobivalent agents. This method allows for the efficient selection of high-affinity dual receptor-targeting agents streamlining tedious...

Wang M, McNitt C, Wang H, Ma X, Scarry S, Wu Z, et al.
Chem Commun (Camb) . 2018 Jun; 54(56):7810-7813. PMID: 29946609
Here we report the 18F labeling of a prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand via a strain promoted oxa-dibenzocyclooctyne (ODIBO)- or bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN)-azide reaction. Although ODIBO reacts with azide 20...

Boudjemeline M, McNitt C, Singleton T, Popik V, Kostikov A
Org Biomol Chem . 2017 Nov; 16(3):363-366. PMID: 29170778
A novel prosthetic group for the efficient radiolabeling of macromolecules has been developed. [F]oxadibenzocyclooctyne ([F]ODIBO) is synthesized in high radiochemical yield and applied for nearly quantitative conjugation to azide-tagged peptides...

McNitt C, Cheng H, Ullrich S, Popik V, Bjerknes M
J Am Chem Soc . 2017 Sep; 139(40):14029-14032. PMID: 28925255
Irradiation of cyclopropenone-masked dibenzocyclooctynes with near-infrared pulses from a femtosecond laser triggers photodecarbonylation via nonresonant two- or three-photon excitation. Multiphoton-generated cyclooctynes undergo a SPAAC reaction with organic azides, yielding the...

Bjerknes M, Cheng H, McNitt C, Popik V
Bioconjug Chem . 2017 Apr; 28(5):1560-1565. PMID: 28437092
Little is known about the reactivity of strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reagents with inorganic azides. We explore the reactions of a variety of popular SPAAC reagents with sodium azide and...

Whitehead S, McNitt C, Mattern-Schain S, Carr A, Alam S, Popik V, et al.
Bioconjug Chem . 2017 Mar; 28(4):923-932. PMID: 28248084
Artificial systems for controlled membrane fusion applicable for drug delivery would ideally use triggers that are orthogonal to biology. To apply the strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) to drive membrane fusion,...

Luo W, Gobbo P, McNitt C, Sutton D, Popik V, Workentin M
Chemistry . 2016 Oct; 23(5):1052-1059. PMID: 27727488
In this study, we report the design, synthesis, and characterization of small 3 nm water soluble gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that feature cyclopropenone-masked strained alkyne moieties capable of undergoing interfacial strain-promoted...
