Azido-PEG3-alcohol is a PEG analogue containing an azide group and a terminal hydroxyl group. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. The azide group can react with alkyne, BCN, DBCO via Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. The hydroxyl group enables further derivatization or replacement with other reactive functional groups.
| Targets |
This molecule has no intrinsic biological target. Its function is as a hydrophilic spacer arm for joining two pharmacologically active molecules. In PROTACs, it serves as a linker to connect a ligand for a target protein with a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, thereby enabling the selective degradation of disease-relevant proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
One ligand is for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the other is for the target protein; these two ligands are joined by a linker to form PROTACs. The intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system is utilized by PROTACs to specifically destroy target proteins[1].
As a standalone compound, Azido-PEG3-alcohol is chemically inert in most biological assays. Its utility is realized after conjugation to other molecules via click chemistry (CuAAc or SPAAC). Its hydrophilic PEG3 chain increases the water solubility and reduces the steric hindrance of the final conjugated product, which is a key property for successful in vitro experiments involving biomolecules. |
| ln Vivo |
The compound itself is not administered as a therapeutic. When incorporated as a linker into a larger molecule, the PEG3 spacer contributes to the conjugate‘s overall pharmacokinetic profile. It is generally considered to help improve the conjugate’s aqueous solubility and potentially prolong its circulation time by reducing immunogenicity and aggregation, which are highly beneficial properties for the in vivo performance of therapeutic candidates.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Being a linker, it has no specific receptor-binding activity. It is used for the chemical synthesis of protein-binding probes. A typical protocol involves the conjugation of Azido-PEG3-alcohol to an alkyne-modified molecule via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition.
|
| Cell Assay |
This compound is not assayed for cellular activity by itself. It is used to synthesize cell-active molecules like PROTACs. Cells are then treated with the final PROTAC compound, and protein degradation is measured by immunoblotting (Western blot) or other cellular assays to evaluate the efficacy of the molecule that the linker helped create.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No direct animal testing is performed on this linker itself. Instead, the final PROTAC or conjugate molecule is formulated and administered to animals (e.g., mice or rats) via routes such as intravenous, intraperitoneal, or oral gavage, typically after dissolution in vehicles like 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline. Plasma concentrations are then measured to assess the drug’s pharmacokinetics.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PK properties are dictated by the final PROTAC or conjugate molecule, not by the PEG linker alone. However, the incorporation of a PEG3 spacer is a well-established strategy to improve the aqueous solubility and stability of the parent molecule. This modification can positively influence bioavailability and reduce immunogenicity, thereby contributing to favorable PK profiles in drug development.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Azido-PEG3-alcohol is classified as a laboratory research chemical. Safety data sheets indicate that it is toxic and a known skin and eye irritant. It is not approved for human use and should be handled only by trained personnel using appropriate protective equipment.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
