| Targets |
Bis-PEG3-NHS ester is a non-cleavable 3-unit PEG linker used in antibody-drug conjugation (ADC). Its primary targets are the primary amines (-NH2) of proteins and amine-modified oligonucleotides. The compound is instrumental in the creation of stable conjugates for a variety of applications, from fundamental research to the development of advanced therapeutics like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Its PEG3 spacer enhances solubility, reduces immunogenicity, and enables controlled drug loading on antibodies. The compound is widely used in protein-protein crosslinking, antibody modification, and surface functionalization.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Bis-PEG3-NHS ester is used for efficient crosslinking of proteins via primary amines. Its PEG3 spacer enhances solubility, reduces immunogenicity, and enables controlled drug loading on antibodies. The compound's reactivity is pH-dependent, with the optimal pH range for the reaction with primary amines between 7.0 and 8.5. The stability of NHS esters in aqueous solutions is a critical consideration for experimental design; the half-life of the NHS ester moiety is highly dependent on the pH of the solution. Bis-PEG3-NHS ester is widely used in bioconjugation, chemical biology, and drug delivery system development.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Bis-PEG3-NHS ester is used in the construction of ADCs that facilitate the delivery of cytotoxic payloads to specific cells. ADCs are comprised of an antibody to which a cytotoxic payload is attached through the linker. The non-cleavable nature of the PEG3 linker ensures that the conjugate remains intact until it is internalized by the target cell and degraded in the lysosome. The PEG spacer in Bis-PEG3-NHS ester enhances solubility and reduces immunogenicity of the resulting conjugates. The compound is a research tool for the development of ADCs and other targeted therapies.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro protein crosslinking assays involve reacting the NHS ester with primary amines on proteins, followed by analysis via SDS-PAGE or mass spectrometry to confirm conjugation. The assay is conducted by incubating the protein with varying concentrations of Bis-PEG3-NHS ester in a buffer at pH 7.0-8.5. The reaction is typically carried out at room temperature for 1-2 hours, and the extent of conjugation is assessed by the shift in molecular weight on SDS-PAGE or by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The conjugation efficiency is calculated based on the ratio of conjugated to unconjugated protein.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays evaluate the efficacy of ADCs constructed with Bis-PEG3-NHS ester in cancer cell lines, measuring cytotoxicity and target specificity. Cancer cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with serial dilutions of the ADC. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays after 48-72 hours of treatment. The IC50 values for cytotoxicity are calculated. Target specificity is evaluated by comparing the cytotoxicity of the ADC in target-positive versus target-negative cell lines. Flow cytometry is used to assess ADC binding and internalization.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo, ADCs constructed with Bis-PEG3-NHS ester are evaluated in xenograft mouse models of cancer. Immunocompromised mice bearing subcutaneous tumors are treated with the ADC via intravenous injection at various doses. Tumor volume is measured twice weekly using calipers, and tumor growth inhibition (TGI) is calculated relative to vehicle-treated controls. Pharmacokinetic studies are conducted to determine the ADC's half-life, clearance, and tissue distribution. The safety profile of the ADC is assessed by monitoring body weight, clinical signs, and hematological parameters.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Bis-PEG3-NHS ester is a non-degradable linker containing 3 PEG units that may be utilized to prepare active ADCs. The PEG spacer enhances solubility and reduces immunogenicity of the resulting conjugates. The compound has a spacer arm length of 14.6 Å (13 atoms) and a purity of >98%. It is soluble in water, methylene chloride, acetonitrile, methanol, DMAC, and DMSO. The compound should be stored at -20°C, desiccated, and allowed to reach room temperature before opening.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity of Bis-PEG3-NHS ester is primarily associated with its reactivity as a crosslinking agent. The compound can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Inhalation of the compound may cause respiratory irritation. In preclinical studies, the compound has shown low acute toxicity, but its reactivity with proteins raises concerns about potential off-target effects. The compound should be handled with appropriate personal protective equipment in a well-ventilated area. For research use only, not for human use.
