Product Description
Amino-PEG2-acid is a PEG analogue containing an amino group with a terminal carboxylic acid. The amino group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde) etc. The terminal carboxylic acid can be reacted with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or DCC) to form a stable amide bond. PEG Linkers may be useful in antibody drug conjugates.
Amino-PEG2-acid (CAS#: 791028-27-8), also known as 3-(2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy)propanoic acid or NH2-PEG2-COOH, is a heterobifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker containing a terminal amine group and a terminal carboxylic acid group. It is a short-chain PEG derivative that serves as a non-cleavable linker for bio-conjugation. The compound is widely used in the synthesis of PROTACs (proteolysis-targeting chimeras), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and other bioconjugates. Its PEG spacer enhances the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of conjugated therapeutic agents, making it a valuable component in drug delivery systems and surface modification applications. The compound is also known as Amino-PEG2-acid and is available at >98% purity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary targets of Amino-PEG2-acid are the functional groups on biomolecules that it conjugates to, rather than specific biological receptors. The amine group (-NH2) is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and carbonyl groups (ketones, aldehydes), enabling the formation of stable amide or imine bonds. The terminal carboxylic acid (-COOH) can be activated (e.g., with EDC or DCC) to react with primary amine groups on proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules, forming stable amide bonds. As a PEG-based linker, it facilitates the attachment of therapeutic agents to target biomolecules, enhancing their stability and efficacy in therapeutic applications.
ln Vitro
An ADC cytotoxin is connected to an antibody by use of an ADC linker to form an ADC. 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 targets and selectively degrades target proteins by means of the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system.
In vitro, Amino-PEG2-acid is used as a building block for the synthesis of bioconjugates rather than as a directly active biological agent. The compound's primary in vitro application is in bioconjugation chemistry, where it serves as a versatile linker to attach various biomolecules such as proteins, peptides, and small molecules. The PEG spacer enhances the solubility and stability of the resulting conjugates in aqueous solutions. Studies have demonstrated that the compound can effectively bind to various cellular targets through its conjugated payloads, influencing cellular processes. In PROTAC synthesis, the linker connects the target protein ligand to the E3 ligase ligand, enabling targeted protein degradation.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Amino-PEG2-acid is not administered directly as a therapeutic agent but is used to synthesize PROTACs, ADCs, and other bioconjugates that are evaluated in animal models. The PEG spacer enhances the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of the resulting conjugates, improving their pharmacokinetic properties. The compound's role as a linker in ADC synthesis enables targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics with reduced systemic toxicity. In PROTAC development, the PEG linker facilitates the formation of chimeric molecules that induce degradation of disease-relevant proteins. The compound's utility in drug development has been validated in various preclinical studies involving animal models of cancer and other diseases.
Enzyme Assay
In cell-free biochemical assays, Amino-PEG2-acid is characterized for its chemical properties and conjugation efficiency. The compound's purity (>98%) and molecular weight (177.20 g/mol, formula C7H15NO4) are determined using analytical techniques such as HPLC and mass spectrometry. Its reactivity with carboxylic acids, NHS esters, and carbonyls is assessed to ensure compatibility with conjugation reactions. The compound's solubility in aqueous and organic solvents is evaluated to determine optimal reaction conditions for bioconjugation. Stability studies under various storage conditions are conducted to ensure the integrity of the linker for long-term research use.
Cell Assay
In cellular assays, Amino-PEG2-acid is evaluated indirectly through the biological activity of the conjugates synthesized using this linker. The resulting PROTACs are tested for their ability to degrade target proteins in cell lines, with the PEG linker's effect on cellular uptake, intracellular trafficking, and protein degradation activity being assessed. The resulting ADCs are evaluated for their ability to bind to target antigens, mediate internalization, and deliver cytotoxic payloads to cancer cells. The PEG linker's impact on cell permeability and bioavailability is characterized in relevant cell models. The compound itself is not biologically active and serves only as a structural component.
Animal Protocol
Animal models for Amino-PEG2-acid involve evaluating the PROTACs or ADCs synthesized using this linker in preclinical studies. The resulting conjugates are tested in tumor xenograft models (for ADCs) or disease models relevant to the target protein (for PROTACs). The PEG linker's effect on pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and efficacy is assessed. Studies have examined the compound's role in enabling targeted drug delivery and protein degradation in various animal models. The compound's ability to enhance the solubility and stability of therapeutic conjugates has been demonstrated in pharmacokinetic and efficacy studies in rodents.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for Amino-PEG2-acid are not typically reported, as the compound is a linker rather than a therapeutic agent. However, the PEG moiety contributes to the favorable pharmacokinetic properties of the resulting conjugates, including enhanced solubility, reduced immunogenicity, and prolonged circulation time. The compound has a molecular weight of 177.20 g/mol with a molecular formula of C7H15NO4. The CAS number is 791028-27-8. The compound is soluble in water and common organic solvents. It should be stored at -20°C for long-term stability. Standard handling procedures for PEG linkers apply.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Amino-PEG2-acid is not extensively documented, as the compound is a linker rather than a pharmacologically active agent. The compound is supplied at ≥95% purity and is intended for research use only. Standard safety precautions for handling laboratory chemicals apply, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area. The compound is not intended for human use or therapeutic applications. As with all chemical reagents, appropriate handling and disposal procedures should be followed to minimize exposure and environmental impact.
