    Abstract

    Efficient syntheses of a series of functionalized aryl enediynes have been developed. The building blocks were used to effect conjugation to carrier PEG templates which allowed subsequent coupling to a cardiac targeted monoclonal antibody. Immunocompetence of the enediyne-Mab conjugates was demonstrated by ELISA, and both parent enediynes and bioconjugates underwent successful photo-Bergman cyclization. Finally, surface modified (Au) nanoparticle conjugates were prepared and size confirmed by TEM analysis. Application as long-circulating photoactivated prodrugs is anticipated.
