Abstract

Provided herein are methods for sequestering an alkyne-presenting molecule in a sample and related sequestration reagents, compositions, methods and systems.

Claims (48)

1. A method for sequestering one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in a matrix, the method comprising:

providing the matrix sample wherein the one or more alkyne presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix are dispersed;

providing a sequestration reagent comprising a support presenting one or more azide groups capable of binding the sequestration reagent to one or more alkyne-presenting molecules through click-chemistry; and

contacting the sequestration reagent with the matrix sample in absence of a treatment of the matrix sample that introduces an alkyne group into the matrix sample prior to the contacting, the contacting being performed for a time and under a condition to allow binding of the sequestration reagent to one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample through click-chemistry, thus sequestering the alkyne-presenting molecules, when present, from the matrix sample;

wherein the matrix sample is selected from blood, and urine.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequestration reagent has formula XXXV:

wherein: R 1 is a cross-linked organic polymer; X 1 is selected from the group consisting of O, NH, and S; and n is between 4 and 7.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contacting is performed by:

dispersing the sequestration reagent in the matrix sample in combination with a copper(0), copper(I) and/or copper(II) compound to provide a mixture; and tumbling the mixture.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample comprise a terminal alkyne.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the terminal alkyne is selected from one of 17α-ethinylestradiol, acetylene, propyne, norethynodrel, and rasagiline.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the terminal alkyne is 17α-ethinylestradiol.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample comprise an internal alkyne group.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the internal alkyne is selected from one of terbinafine, cicutoxin, oenanthotoxin, falcarinol, efavirenz, calicheamicin, and tariric acid.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequestration reagent has formula XXXVI:

wherein: R 1 is a cross-linked organic polymer; X 1 is selected from the group consisting of O, NH, and S; and n is between 4 and 7; and

R1 is a Wang resin, a Rink amide resin, a trityl resin or a chloromethylphenyl polystyrene resin.

10. A method for detecting one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in a matrix, the method comprising:

providing a matrix sample wherein the one or more alkyne presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix are dispersed;

providing a sequestration reagent comprising a support presenting one or more azide groups capable of binding of the sequestration reagent to one or more alkyne-presenting molecules and a detection reagent through click chemistry; and

contacting the sequestration reagent with the matrix sample in absence of a treatment of the matrix sample that introduces an alkyne group into the matrix sample prior to the contacting, the contacting being performed for a time and under a condition to allow binding of the sequestration reagent to one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample through click-chemistry, thus sequestering the alkyne-presenting molecules, when present, from the matrix sample;

detecting the one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix;

wherein the sequestration reagent has formula XXXVI:

wherein: R 1 is a cross-linked organic polymer; X 1 is selected from the group consisting of O, NH, and S; and n is between 4 and 7; and

R1 is a Wang resin, a Rink amide resin, a trityl resin or a chloromethylphenyl polystyrene resin.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample comprise a terminal alkyne.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the terminal alkyne is selected from one of 17α-ethinylestradiol, acetylene, propyne, norethynodrel, and rasagiline.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the terminal alkyne is 17α-ethinylestradiol.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the matrix sample is an aqueous or organic solution.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the matrix sample is selected from blood, urine, drinking water, and agricultural irrigation water.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the matrix sample is selected from blood, and urine.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample comprise an internal alkyne group.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the internal alkyne is selected from one of terbinafine, cicutoxin, oenanthotoxin, falcarinol, efavirenz, calicheamicin, and tariric acid.

19. A method for sequestering one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in a matrix, the method comprising:

providing the matrix sample wherein the one or more alkyne presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix are dispersed;

providing a sequestration reagent comprising a support presenting one or more azide groups capable of binding the sequestration reagent to one or more alkyne-presenting molecules through click-chemistry; and

contacting the sequestration reagent with the matrix sample in absence of a treatment of the matrix sample that introduces an alkyne group into the matrix sample prior to the contacting, the contacting being performed for a time and under a condition to allow binding of the sequestration reagent to one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample through click-chemistry, thus sequestering the alkyne-presenting molecules, when present, from the matrix sample;

wherein the sequestration reagent has formula XXXVI:

wherein: R 1 is a cross-linked organic polymer; X 1 is selected from the group consisting of O, NH, and S; and n is between 4 and 7; and

R1 is a Wang resin, a Rink amide resin, a trityl resin or a chloromethylphenyl polystyrene resin.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the matrix sample is an aqueous or organic solution.

21. The method of claim 19 , wherein the contacting is performed by: dispersing the sequestration reagent in the matrix sample in combination with a copper(0), copper(I) and/or copper(II) compound to provide a mixture; and tumbling the mixture.

22. The method of claim 19 , wherein the matrix sample is selected from drinking water, and agricultural irrigation water.

23. The method of claim 19 , wherein the one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample comprise a terminal alkyne.

24. The method of claim 23 , wherein the terminal alkyne is selected from one of 17α-ethinylestradiol, acetylene, propyne, norethynodrel, and rasagiline.

25. The method of claim 23 , wherein the terminal alkyne is 17α-ethinylestradiol.

26. The method of claim 19 , wherein the one or more alkyne-presenting molecules possibly present in the matrix sample comprise an internal alkyne group.

27. The method of claim 26 , wherein the internal alkyne is selected from one of terbinafine, cicutoxin, oenanthotoxin, falcarinol, efavirenz, calicheamicin, and tariric acid.
