Small molecules that regulate biological processes serve as valuable tools in studies of the functions of biomolecules, especially proteins, as well as in the development of drugs.[1] An important component of efforts that target the discovery of bioactive molecules is high-throughput screening. Technologies that rely on the use of DNA, protein, and carbohydrate microarrays have been widely employed to accelerate the selection of lead compounds and as high-throughput analytical tools in genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and glycomic research.[2–4] Microarray platforms enable the simultaneous assessment of a large number of samples that are available in limited quantities. Similarly, small-molecule microarrays have been used as high-throughput methods to identify substances that selectively bind to proteins.[5] Most of the small molecules of interest in these efforts possess a number of different functional groups, such as hydroxy (OH), amino (NH2), carboxy (CO2H), and sulfanyl groups (SH). The major requirement of techniques used to fabricate small-molecule microarrays is that immobilization of the diversely functionalized compounds to the modified surfaces must be highly selective. Strategies that employ efficient and chemoselective ligation processes would be generally applicable to the fabrication of microarrays that possess covalently linked, biologically interesting molecules. Herein we describe a novel chemoselective immobilization process in which hydrazidecontaining compounds react with epoxides coated on glass slides. This new technique has been applied to the efficient construction of chemical microarrays, which have been used to evaluate protein binding to peptides and small molecules. Several criteria must be met in designing a general method to prepare diverse chemical microarrays. Firstly, the diverse substances containing the specific functional groups used for selective reactions with the modified solid surfaces must be easily prepared by solid-phase synthesis. Also, functional groups that will selectively react with the small molecules must be readily incorporated onto the solid surfaces. Lastly, following their release from a solid support, the diversely structured and functionalized small molecules must undergo site-specific covalent attachment to the modified surfaces. Strategies employing highly chemoselective ligation reactions fit these criteria. We have investigated a novel technique for immobilization, which relies on the use of reactions between hydrazide-containing small molecules and epoxide-coated glass slides (Scheme 1). The hydrazide groups are incorporated into the small molecules while they are attached to a solid support and are used as a handle in their solid-phase synthesis.[6] The epoxide-derivatized glass slides are easily created by immersing amine-coated glass slides into a solution of poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (3% solution in 10 mm NaHCO3, pH 8.3).[7]A hydrazide-linked fucose probe (S-or L-Fuc-NHNH2, S: short, L: long; Scheme2) was used to probe optimal conditions (pH, time, and concentration) for the immobilization process. Preparation of S-or L-Fuc-NHNH2 was initiated by transforming alcohol groups on a Wang resin into pnitrophenyl carbonates.[8] The resulting resin was then treated with hydrazine to yield the hydrazide-containing resin, which was coupled with the Fmoc-protected L or S tether in the presence of NEM, BOP, and HOBt. The amino groups
