| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we pursued two aspects related to biocatalysis. First, we focused on the development of albumin-based artificial metalloenzymes (ArM). We revealed that these systems were highly biocompatible due to their prevention of glutathione entry into the hydrophobic binding pocket of albumin. Using this technology, we developed a prodrug system that used ring-closing metathesis to synthesize umbelliprenin in cell cultures. In addition, we also adapted this system to design and develop an ethylene sensing probe. This probe was then used for the spatiotemporal detection of ethylene biosynthesis in fruits and leaves. Another aspect of biocatalysis that we explored was the development of an Au(I)-mediated ethynylbenzamide cyclization reaction. This reaction could be adapted to release amine containing drugs like doxorubicin and endoxifen. The activation of these prodrugs was shown to proceed effectively in various cell-based assays.
