Intracellular Delivery of Small Molecule Reactive Ligands for Bioconjugation
A protected small molecule probe is delivered intracellularly and subsequently releases an aryl diazonium ion for use as a bioconjugation agent or drug delivery agent. This technology enables a novel chemical probe for observing intact biological cells. It builds on previous IP developed by Jewett laboratory for protection, as a class of chemistry enabling...

pH Releasable Linkers for Drug Delivery, Imaging, or Diagnostics
This technology describes water-soluble triazabutadienes as cross-linkers to and protecting groups for small-molecule therapeutics or fluorescent moieties. Upon changes in chemical conditions, triazabutadienes release a highly reactive diazonium species, enabling targeted delivery of the cross-linked molecule.
Background:
Cross linking is becoming...
