- *Abstract
-
This invention provides a new chemically-stable platform for delivering hydrophobic molecules in to cell cytoplasm. Sulfonates are used to impart water-solubility to hydrophobic molecules but does not readily cross cellular membrane to access cellular compartments. Thus, the TFA-labile sulfonate protection group helps to overcome the difficulty in delivering hydrophobic molecules to the intracellular environment. Currently existing protection molecules are complicated and expensive to produce while requiring additional steps to remove byproducts after TFA mediated deprotection. This new invention TFMB sulfonate esters are unique because they are 1) stable to nucleophilic attack (e.g. sodium iodide and piperidine), 2) synthesized in one step from commercially-available materials, and 3) easily removable with pig liver esterase (~2min). This new UMass Medical School sulfate protection group provides new opportunities for research molecule delivery of hydrophobic drugs to mammalian cells.
