Article Abstract
We report a cascade acid-sensitive prodrug design strategy utilizing a thioamide-trimethyl-lock system. This approach successfully balances prodrug stability and high acid sensitivity, enabling precise drug release in acidic microenvironments. The thioamide system further acts as a hydrogen sulfide (HS) donor, providing organ-protective effects. studies in a mouse MCAO stroke model and a 4T1 breast tumor model confirmed significant therapeutic efficacy, including reduced toxicity, enhanced tumor inhibition, and improved safety. Histological analysis revealed minimized systemic toxicity, particularly cardiotoxicity, compared to conventional treatments. This robust and versatile cascade acid-sensitive design has broad applications in chemical biology and drug delivery.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) during kidney transplantation is linked to oxidative stress induced by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which causes the injury of transplanted kidney, leading to further intensified organ shortages. Protein-based antioxidants have been developed for ROS scavenging via cascade biocatalyst. The in situ growth of metal nanozymes on proteins effectively decreases the steric hindrance between active sites, improving the efficiency of cascade biocatalysts.

The complex microenvironment of diabetic wounds, combined with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria under biofilms, makes it challenging for antibiotics or single treatment strategies to effectively treat infected wounds. To sustainably improve the wound microenvironment, we developed a hydrogel (Hyd-GZA) with controlled nitric oxide (NO) release based on a cascade reaction. This hydrogel contains an acid-sensitive cascade reactor (GOx@ZIF-90-Arg) loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and the NO donor l-arginine (l-Arg).

Fast growing solid tumors are frequently surrounded by an acidic microenvironment. Tumor cells employ a variety of mechanisms to survive and proliferate under these harsh conditions. In that regard, acid-sensitive membrane receptors constitute a particularly interesting target, since they can affect cellular functions through ion flow and second messenger cascades.

A Pd-catalyzed cascade process for the direct synthesis of 3-substituted-1-indazole employing -quinone methide (-QM) and arylhydrazine through Pd-catalyzed double C-N bond formation via 1,6-conjugate addition is reported. This reaction strategy affords efficient and practical access to synthetically important diverse 3-substituted-1-indazoles in good yields. The photophysical properties of the synthesized 3-substituted-1-indazoles are investigated, and some of them showed very good fluorescence properties with quantum yields up to 85%.
