Product Description
Eicosanedioic acid is a non-cleavable (non-degradable) ADC linker, used for the synthesis of ADCs (antibody-drug conjugates). Eicosanedioic acid is also a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker based on alkyl chain and may be utilized to prepare PROTAC molecules.
Eicosanedioic acid (CAS 2424-92-2), also known as 1,20-eicosanedioic acid or 1,20-docosanedioic acid, is a long-chain dicarboxylic acid. It is used as a linker or building block in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and PROTACs. This compound features a 20-carbon chain with carboxylic acid groups at both termini, providing a flexible and hydrophobic spacer for bioconjugation applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Non-cleavable Linker
As a linker or building block, Eicosanedioic acid does not have a traditional biological target. In ADC and PROTAC applications, it serves as a structural component that connects the targeting moiety (e.g., antibody) to the payload (e.g., cytotoxic drug) or connects the E3 ligase ligand to the target protein ligand. The compound's long hydrophobic chain provides stability and appropriate spacing between functional groups in bioconjugates.
ln Vitro
ADC cytotoxins are connected to antibodies through an ADC connector to form ADCs [1]. Two distinct ligands, one for the E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other for the target protein, are present in PROTAC and are joined by a linker. PROTAC selectively degrades target proteins by means of the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system [2].
In vitro, Eicosanedioic acid functions as a chemical building block rather than a bioactive compound. It is used in the synthesis of ADCs and PROTACs through standard bioconjugation chemistry. The carboxylic acid groups at both termini allow for amide bond formation with amines, enabling the attachment of various functional groups. The compound itself does not exhibit direct cellular activity but enables the bioactivity of the conjugated therapeutic agent.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity of Eicosanedioic acid is realized through the ADC or PROTAC constructs in which it is incorporated. As a linker, it contributes to the overall stability and pharmacokinetic profile of the conjugate. The long hydrophobic chain may influence the lipophilicity and membrane permeability of the conjugated molecule. The in vivo efficacy depends on the specific antibody, targeting ligand, and payload used in the conjugate.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Eicosanedioic acid focus on evaluating the stability and reactivity of the linker. The compound is tested for its ability to form amide bonds with amines and for its stability under physiological conditions. The compound is incubated in buffer solutions (e.g., PBS, pH 7.4) at 37°C for various time points. Samples are analyzed by HPLC or LC-MS to monitor the integrity of the linker and detect any degradation products.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for Eicosanedioic acid involve testing the complete ADC or PROTAC molecule rather than the linker alone. For ADC evaluation, cancer cell lines are treated with the ADC, and cell viability is assessed using CCK-8 or MTT assays after 72 hours. For PROTAC studies, target protein degradation is measured by Western blot analysis in treated cells. The linker itself does not directly affect cell viability but is essential for the function of the conjugated therapeutic molecule.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for Eicosanedioic acid are conducted using the final ADC or PROTAC construct. For ADC evaluation, tumor-bearing xenograft models receive the ADC via intravenous injection. Tumor volume and body weight are monitored over 2-4 weeks to assess efficacy and tolerability. For PROTAC evaluation, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters are measured, including target protein degradation in tissues. The linker contributes to the stability and PK profile of the conjugate.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Eicosanedioic acid has a molecular formula of C₂₀H₃₈O₄ and a molecular weight of 342.51. It is a white to off-white solid with a purity of ≥98%. It is soluble in organic solvents such as DMSO and ethanol, but has limited solubility in water. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions. It is intended for research use only and is not approved for clinical use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Eicosanedioic acid is associated with the ADC or PROTAC molecules in which it is used. As a linker compound, it is considered to have low intrinsic toxicity. Standard toxicity studies for the final conjugate include assessment of body weight changes, clinical observations, hematological parameters, and histopathological examination of major organs in animal models. The linker itself does not exhibit significant cytotoxic effects in standard cell viability assays.
