Abstract
DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL) links the power of amplifiable genetics and the non-self-replicating chemical phenotypes, generating a diverse chemical world. In analogy with the biological world, the DEL world can evolve by using a chemical central dogma, wherein DNA replicates using the PCR reactions to amplify the genetic codes, DNA sequencing transcripts the genetic information, and DNA-compatible synthesis translates into chemical phenotypes. Importantly, DNA-compatible synthesis is the key to expanding the DEL chemical space. Besides, the evolution-driven selection system pushes the chemicals to evolve under the selective pressure, i.e., desired selection strategies. In this perspective, we summarized recent advances in expanding DEL synthetic toolbox and panning strategies, which will shed light on the drug discovery harnessing in vitro evolution of chemicals via DEL.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2307049. [PMID: 38044314 PMCID: PMC10853742 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202307049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
An ideal DNA-encoded library (DEL) selection requires the library to consist of diverse core skeletons and cover chemical space as much as possible. However, the lack of efficient on-DNA synthetic approaches toward core skeletons has greatly restricted the diversity of DEL. To mitigate this issue, this work disclosed a "Mask & Release" strategy to streamline the challenging on-DNA core skeleton synthesis. N-phenoxyacetamide is used as a masked phenol and versatile directing group to mediate diversified DNA-compatible C-H functionalization, introducing the 1st-dimensional diversity at a defined site, and simultaneously releasing the phenol functionality, which can facilitate the introduction of the 2nd diversity. This work not only provides a set of efficient syntheses toward DNA-conjugated drug-like core skeletons such as ortho-alkenyl/sulfiliminyl/cyclopropyl phenol, benzofuran, dihydrobenzofuran but also provides a paradigm for on-DNA core skeleton synthetic method development.

Abstract
Triazoles are privileged structural motifs that are embedded in a number of molecules with interesting biological activities. In this work, we developed a practical and general synthetic strategy to construct a medicinally important 5-amino-1,2,3-triazole moiety on DNA by coupling DNA-conjugated azides and monosubstituted acetonitriles via azide-acetonitrile "click" reaction. Under mild reaction conditions, this reaction displayed a broad substrate scope. Most substrates gave moderate-to-excellent conversions. Thus, this DNA-compatible reaction could be employed in practical DNA-encoded library (DEL) construction and potentially expand the chemical space of DNA-encoded libraries.
