Continuous Flow Bioconjugations of NIR‐AZA Fluorophores via Strained Alkyne Cycloadditions with Intra‐Chip Fluorogenic Monitoring **

Abstract: The importance of bioconjugation reactions continues to grow for cell specific targeting and dual therapeutic plus diagnostic medical applications. This necessitates the development of new bioconjugation chemistries, in‐flow synthetic and analytical methods. With this goal, continuous flow bioconjugations were readily achieved with short residence times for strained alkyne substituted carbohydrate and therapeutic peptide biomolecules in reaction with azide and tetrazine substituted fluorophores. The strained alkyne substrates included substituted 2‐amino‐2‐deoxy‐α‐D‐glucopyranose, and the linear and cyclic peptide sequences QIRQQPRDPPTETLELEVSPDPAS‐OH and c (RGDfK) respectively. The catalyst and reagent‐free inverse electron demand tetrazine cycloadditions proved more favourable than the azide 1,3‐dipolar cycloadditions. Reaction completion was achieved with residence times of 5 min at 40 °C for tetrazine versus 10 min at 80 °C for azide cycloadditions. The use of a fluorogenic tetrazine fluorophore, in a glass channelled reactor chip, allowed for intra‐chip reaction monitoring by recording fluorescence intensities at various positions throughout the chip. As the Diels‐Alder reactions proceeded through the chip, the fluorescence intensity increased accordingly in real‐time. The application of continuous flow fluorogenic bioconjugations could offer an efficient translational access to theranostic agents.
