| Targets |
Boc-NH-PEG2-NH-Boc is a chemical linker and does not have a specific biological target. Its function is based on chemical reactivity rather than pharmacological receptor engagement. The compound contains two Boc-protected amine groups that can be deprotected under acidic conditions to reveal free amines for further conjugation. It is used as a versatile building block in peptide synthesis, linker design, and bioconjugation strategies.

| 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 chemical linker, Boc-NH-PEG2-NH-Boc does not possess intrinsic in vitro biological activity. Its value derives from its utility as a building block for synthesizing PROTACs and other bioconjugates. The Boc protecting groups are acid-labile and can be removed to expose amine groups for subsequent coupling reactions. The hydrophilic PEG2 spacer increases water solubility and provides a defined length for connecting functional moieties. |
| ln Vivo |
Boc-NH-PEG2-NH-Boc is not a pharmacologically active compound and does not exhibit in vivo biological activity. Its role is limited to chemical conjugation applications in research settings. The compound is used to synthesize PROTACs and other molecules that may subsequently demonstrate in vivo efficacy. No direct in vivo effects have been reported for this PEG linker itself.

Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
