Product Description
NHPI-PEG4-C2-NHS ester, example 40 (WO2014185985A1), is used as a linker for antibody-drug conjugates (ADC).
NHPI-PEG4-C2-NHS ester (CAS 1415328-95-8) is a cleavable PEG-based linker containing an N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester and an N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) group. Its molecular formula is C23H28N2O11 with a molecular weight of 508.48 g/mol. This compound is a PEGylated crosslinking agent featuring a hydrophilic PEG4 spacer that enhances aqueous solubility and biocompatibility. The NHS ester moiety enables efficient conjugation to primary amines on proteins or antibodies, while the NHPI group allows for controlled release of payloads. It is primarily utilized as a linker in the construction of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for targeted drug delivery applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As a chemical linker for ADC construction, NHPI-PEG4-C2-NHS ester does not have a defined biological target. Its role is to serve as a cleavable connector between an antibody and a cytotoxic payload in antibody-drug conjugates. The NHPI moiety provides a cleavable site that enables controlled release of the drug payload under specific conditions. The PEG4 spacer enhances solubility and biocompatibility, facilitating the delivery of the ADC to target cells.
ln Vitro
In cell-free biochemical systems, this linker is used to covalently attach small molecule drugs to antibodies, enabling the formation of stable antibody-drug conjugates. The NHS ester reacts with primary amines on the antibody, while the NHPI group provides a cleavable linkage for drug release. The PEG4 spacer improves the solubility and stability of the resulting conjugate in aqueous environments. The linker facilitates the synthesis of ADCs with controlled drug-to-antibody ratios.
ln Vivo
For antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), NHPI-PEG4-C2-NHS ester, Example 40 (WO2014185985.A1), can serve as a connecting link.
This compound does not exhibit direct cellular activity as it is a chemical linker rather than a bioactive molecule. Antibody-drug conjugates constructed using this linker can be delivered to target cells where the antibody binds to cell surface antigens, followed by internalization and intracellular release of the cytotoxic payload. The cleavable nature of the NHPI group enables controlled drug release within target cells.
Enzyme Assay
The cell-free assay for this linker involves conjugation reactions between the NHS ester and primary amines on proteins or antibodies. The reaction is typically performed in aqueous buffer at pH 7.4-8.5 for 1-4 hours at room temperature or 4°C. The efficiency of conjugation is assessed by mass spectrometry, SDS-PAGE, or HPLC analysis. The purity and integrity of the resulting conjugate are evaluated to confirm successful linker incorporation.
Cell Assay
No cell-based experimental protocols are directly applicable to this linker as it is a chemical synthesis reagent. Antibody-drug conjugates synthesized using this linker can be evaluated in cell culture experiments. Typical protocols include treating cancer cell lines expressing the target antigen with the ADC at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 10 μg/mL. Cells are incubated for 24-96 hours, and cell viability is assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. The specificity of target cell killing is evaluated by comparing antigen-positive and antigen-negative cell lines.
Animal Protocol
This linker is not administered to animals as it is a chemical intermediate for ADC synthesis. Antibody-drug conjugates incorporating this linker may be evaluated in animal models for pharmacokinetics and efficacy. Typical studies involve administration of the ADC to tumor-bearing mice via intravenous routes at doses ranging from 0.1-10 mg/kg. Tumor volumes are measured, and tissues are collected for analysis of ADC distribution, payload release, and therapeutic efficacy.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a chemical reagent, this compound does not have established pharmacokinetic properties. The pharmacokinetics of ADCs incorporating this linker depend on the antibody, payload, and overall conjugate properties. The cleavable nature of the NHPI group influences payload release kinetics. The PEG4 spacer may affect the circulation time and biodistribution of the ADC. The compound itself is not intended for therapeutic use and is not administered systemically.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The compound is not intended for therapeutic use and lacks established toxicity profiles. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed when handling this chemical reagent. The compound is typically stored at 2-8°C. As an NHS ester, it is moisture-sensitive and should be handled under anhydrous conditions. The compound is for research use only and is not for human or veterinary therapeutic applications.
