Product Description
NHPI-PEG4-C2-Pfp ester can be used as a linker for Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC).
NHPI-PEG4-C2-Pfp ester is a non-cleavable 4-unit PEG linker that can be used to synthesize antibody-conjugated drugs (ADCs). It belongs to the family of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) esters, and the PEG4-C2-Pfp moiety provides stability and solubility. It is a valuable chemical intermediate for ADC development.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Not applicable. NHPI-PEG4-C2-Pfp ester is a non-cleavable PEG linker used in ADC synthesis, not a drug. It has no biological target. The NHPI (N-hydroxyphthalimide) ester is an activated ester that can react with amine groups. The Pfp (pentafluorophenyl) ester is an excellent leaving group for efficient acylation reactions. The PEG4 spacer (four ethylene glycol units) provides water solubility and reduces non-specific protein binding. As a non-cleavable linker, the final ADC is not cleaved in the lysosome; instead, the entire antibody is degraded and the payload is released.
ln Vitro
No significant direct in vitro activity is reported. As a chemical linker, NHPI-PEG4-C2-Pfp ester is used to conjugate cytotoxic payloads (e.g., auristatins, maytansinoids) to antibodies. The resulting ADCs exhibit potent in vitro cytotoxicity against target-positive cancer cells. The PEG4 spacer ensures solubility and prevents aggregation of the ADC. The purity is typically ≥95%.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo data is reported. ADCs synthesized with this non-cleavable PEG4 linker exhibit good in vivo stability and efficacy in tumor xenograft models. Non-cleavable linkers can provide a wider therapeutic window by reducing off-target toxicity because the payload is not released until the entire antibody is degraded inside the target cell. The PEG4 spacer contributes to favorable pharmacokinetic properties.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable. NHPI-PEG4-C2-Pfp ester is a chemical reagent used for bioconjugation. A typical conjugation protocol involves dissolving the linker (1-10 mM) in anhydrous DMSO or DMF. To conjugate an amine-containing payload (e.g., a cytotoxic drug with a free amine), the linker and payload are reacted in a 1:1.2 molar ratio in the presence of a base (e.g., DIPEA) at room temperature for 2-6 hours. The resulting NHPI-PEG4-C2-Pfp-payload conjugate is purified by HPLC. This intermediate can then be conjugated to an antibody via NHS ester chemistry or other reactive groups.
Cell Assay
Not applicable. The compound itself is not used in cell-based assays. The final ADC produced with this linker is tested in vitro. Target-positive and target-negative cancer cells are seeded in 96-well plates (5,000 cells/well) and treated with serial dilutions of the ADC for 72-96 hours. Cell viability is assessed by CellTiter-Glo. The selectivity index (IC50 ratio between target-negative and target-positive cells) is calculated. Non-cleavable ADCs typically exhibit less bystander killing effect but have a more predictable safety profile.
Animal Protocol
No specific in vivo animal study protocols are documented. For an ADC synthesized with this non-cleavable PEG4 linker, a typical protocol involves intravenous administration of the ADC (1-10 mg/kg) in tumor xenograft models in mice. Efficacy is assessed by tumor growth inhibition. The non-cleavable linker is expected to be stable in circulation for an extended period (days), with the intact ADC as the predominant circulating species. Biodistribution studies measure ADC concentration in tumor and normal tissues.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Not applicable for the linker. The PEG4 spacer imparts favorable PK properties to the final ADC. PEGylation reduces renal clearance and increases the circulation half-life of the conjugated product. The non-cleavable nature ensures that the ADC is cleared as the intact conjugate, minimizing premature payload release. The half-life is primarily determined by the antibody scaffold (typically 7-14 days in mice).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data is reported for NHPI-PEG4-C2-Pfp ester. As a chemical reagent, standard safety precautions apply. The Pfp (pentafluorophenyl) ester is reactive and may be an irritant. The final ADC payload is highly potent and should be handled in a designated biosafety cabinet. The compound is for research use only.
