Product Description
N3-C5-NHS ester is a non-cleavable (non-degradable) ADC linker that may be utilized to prepare antibody-conjugated active molecules (ADCs). N3-C5-NHS ester is a reagent for click chemistry. It has an Azide (N3) moiety and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing an Alkyne group. SPAAC (Strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition) may also happen with compounds bearing a BCN or DBCO group.
N3-C5-NHS ester (CAS# 866363-70-4) is a non-cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). With a molecular formula of C10H14N4O4 and molecular weight of 254.24, this compound is a click chemistry reagent containing an azide (N3) moiety and an N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester. The azide group enables copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with compounds bearing an alkyne group, while the NHS ester enables efficient conjugation with primary amines. This linker is widely used in protein labeling, drug delivery, and material functionalization.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Non-cleavable Linker
N3-C5-NHS ester does not have a specific biological target itself but serves as a chemical linker for bioconjugation. The azide group enables click chemistry reactions with alkyne-functionalized molecules through copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc). The NHS ester reacts with primary amines on proteins, peptides, or other amine-containing molecules. This dual functionality enables the construction of multifunctional conjugates for various research applications. The compound is used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates.
ln Vitro
In vitro activity of N3-C5-NHS ester is assessed by its ability to participate in click chemistry reactions and conjugate to target molecules. The efficiency of azide-alkyne cycloaddition is evaluated by HPLC or LC-MS analysis of the conjugation products. The NHS ester reactivity with primary amines is assessed by reacting with amine-containing compounds and monitoring the formation of amide bonds by mass spectrometry or UV-Vis spectroscopy. The stability of the resulting conjugates in physiological conditions is also assessed to ensure the linker maintains the integrity of the conjugate.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies for N3-C5-NHS ester are typically conducted as part of complete ADC development, where the antibody-drug conjugate is evaluated rather than the linker alone. The linker's performance in vivo is assessed through pharmacokinetic studies of the ADC, evaluating its stability in circulation, tumor targeting efficiency, and therapeutic efficacy in xenograft models. The non-cleavable nature of this linker ensures that the drug remains attached to the antibody until the ADC is internalized and degraded in the target cell.
Enzyme Assay
For NHS ester conjugation assays, N3-C5-NHS ester is dissolved in anhydrous DMSO or DMF and added to a solution of amine-containing molecule in PBS buffer at pH 7.4-8.5. The reaction mixture is incubated at room temperature for 1-4 hours, and the extent of conjugation is monitored by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry or SDS-PAGE. For click chemistry reactions, the azide-containing conjugate is reacted with alkyne-functionalized molecules in the presence of copper catalyst and reducing agent. The reaction progress is monitored by HPLC or LC-MS.
Cell Assay
For protein labeling experiments, target proteins are dissolved in PBS buffer at pH 7.4. N3-C5-NHS ester is dissolved in anhydrous DMSO or DMF and added to the protein solution at a molar ratio of 5-20:1 (linker:protein). The reaction is incubated at room temperature for 2-4 hours with gentle shaking. Excess linker is removed by dialysis or size-exclusion chromatography. The labeled protein is analyzed by SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry, or UV-Vis spectroscopy to confirm successful conjugation. For click chemistry, the azide-labeled protein is reacted with alkyne-functionalized molecules.
Animal Protocol
For ADC studies, target-positive cancer cell lines are cultured in appropriate media. Cells are treated with N3-C5-NHS ester-containing ADC conjugates at various concentrations for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays, and IC50 values are calculated. Cell binding is evaluated by flow cytometry using fluorescently labeled conjugates, and internalization is assessed using confocal microscopy or pH-sensitive dyes. The non-cleavable nature of the linker means drug release depends on ADC degradation in lysosomes.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of N3-C5-NHS ester are typically characterized as part of the complete ADC. The non-cleavable nature of the linker contributes to prolonged circulation time and reduced systemic toxicity of the ADC. The compound is a liquid with a purity of 98%+. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, clearance, and volume of distribution depend on the specific antibody and payload used in the conjugate. The compound is typically handled and stored according to manufacturer recommendations.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
N3-C5-NHS ester is a chemical reagent intended for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic use. As a non-cleavable ADC linker, it is designed to maintain stable drug-antibody conjugation until internalization and degradation in target cells. The compound is a click chemistry reagent used in protein labeling, drug delivery, and material functionalization. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound.
