The use of this methodology in experimental therapy is driven by the ambition of improving the tolerability and PK properties of clinically-used therapeutic agents. The preclinical potential of bioorthogonal catalysis has been validated in vitro and in vivo with the in situ generation of a broad range of drugs, including cytotoxic agents, anti-inflammatory drugs and anxiolytics. In this article, we report our investigations towards the preparation of solid-supported Cu(I)-microdevices and their application in bioorthogonal uncaging and click reactions. A range of ligand-functionalized polymeric devices and off-on Cu(I)-sensitive sensors were developed and tested under conditions compatible with life. Last, we present a preliminary exploration of their use for the synthesis of PROTACs through CuAAC assembly of two heterofunctional mating units.}, organization = {European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Sklodowska- Curie Grant Agreement no. 765497 (THERACAT)}, organization = {Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska Curie grant agreement No. 749299}, organization = {EPSRC (EP/N021134/1)}, publisher = {Wiley Online Library}, title = {Development of Biocompatible Cu(I)-Microdevices for Bioorthogonal Uncaging and Click Reactions}, doi = {10.1002/chem.202400611}, author = {Van de L’Isle, Melissa and Croke, Stephen and Valero Griñán, María Teresa and Unciti-Broceta, Asier}, }
