N2 - Guanidinoglycosides are a class of non-cytotoxic molecular transporters capable of delivering high molecular weight bioactive cargos into cells at low nanomolar concentrations. Efficient bioconjugation with guanidinoglycosides has been previously demonstrated by utilizing a guanidinoneomycin decorated with a reactive but also unstable N-hydroxysuccinimmide ester-containing linker. Herein we report the synthesis, chemistry, and application of a new, stable guanidinoneomycin derivative armed with a highly specific maleimide moiety which allows for thiol-maleimide click chemistry, a highly popular bioconjugation strategy, widening the field of application of these intriguing and useful delivery vehicles.
