Conjugates for selective responsiveness to vicinal diols

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sensors that can selectively bind to specific vicinal diols in the presence of other diols. These boronated vicinal diol-responsive sensor compounds can sense levels of specific vicinal diols and respond to these molecules in the body. In certain embod...

More Information
Summary:Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sensors that can selectively bind to specific vicinal diols in the presence of other diols. These boronated vicinal diol-responsive sensor compounds can sense levels of specific vicinal diols and respond to these molecules in the body. In certain embodiments, the vicinal diol is a cis diol, for example, a hexose such as glucose. In certain embodiments the sensors are conjugated to a drug substance, and the sensors may change the biophysical characteristics, pharmacokinetics, and/or activity of the drug substance in response to the vicinal diol. The drug substance may be or include a polypeptide, such as an insulin, a human endocrine or incretin peptide, or an analogue thereof, and may contain one or more modified amino acids containing a vicinal diol-responsive sensor.
