Product Description
m-PEG12-amine is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker, which belongs to the Polyethylene glycol (PEG) category and may be utilized to prepare PROTAC protein degraders. m-PEG12-amine is also a non-cleavable (non-degradable) ADC linker containing 12 Polyethylene glycol (PEG) units, which may be utilized to prepare Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC).
m-PEG12-amine (CAS 1977493-48-3) is a non-cleavable, 12-unit polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and as a PEG-based PROTAC linker. It has a molecular formula of C₂₅H₅₃NO₁₂ and a molecular weight of 559.69 g/mol. This compound is a monodisperse PEG derivative, featuring a methoxy group at one terminus and a primary amine group at the other. The amine group provides a reactive handle for conjugation to carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and other electrophilic groups. The long, hydrophilic PEG12 spacer enhances the aqueous solubility and reduces the aggregation of the therapeutic conjugates.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of m-PEG12-amine is not a biological receptor but rather chemical functional groups on other molecules. The terminal primary amine (-NH₂) is the key reactive moiety. It reacts with carboxylic acids in the presence of coupling agents (e.g., EDC, HOBt) to form stable amide bonds. It also reacts with activated esters, such as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters, to form amide linkages. This reactivity makes it a versatile linker for bioconjugation. In ADCs and PROTACs, it serves to connect the targeting or functional moiety to the payload or ligand.
ln Vitro
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 selectively degrades target proteins by means of the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system [1]. ADC is made up of antibodies that are connected to ADC cytotoxins by an ADC linker [2].
As a chemical linker, m-PEG12-amine has no intrinsic biological activity. Its utility is derived from its chemical reactivity. The amine group can be used to conjugate the PEG chain to a wide variety of molecules, including antibodies, drugs, and ligands. The long PEG12 spacer provides excellent hydrophilicity and flexibility, which can improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the final conjugate by increasing its solubility and reducing its immunogenicity. The compound is non-cleavable, meaning the linker is designed to be stable in the biological environment.
ln Vivo
No direct in vivo activity is attributed to m-PEG12-amine itself. Its role is as a component in larger therapeutic constructs. In ADCs, the PEG12 linker connects the antibody to the cytotoxic drug, helping to improve the drug's solubility and stability in circulation. In PROTACs, it connects the target protein ligand to the E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand, providing the necessary spatial arrangement for the PROTAC to function.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro characterization, m-PEG12-amine is typically analyzed by NMR and HPLC to confirm its structure and purity. Purity is often >98%. The amine content can be quantified by titration or by derivatization with a reagent such as ninhydrin or fluorescamine. Its solubility in various solvents is determined, as it is important for its use in conjugation reactions.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays are not performed on m-PEG12-amine alone. As a linker, it is incorporated into larger constructs (ADCs or PROTACs) that are then evaluated in cell culture. For example, an ADC containing the m-PEG12-amine linker would be tested for its ability to bind to cancer cells, be internalized, and deliver a cytotoxic payload. The efficacy of the ADC would be assessed by measuring cell viability.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies with m-PEG12-amine are conducted using the final conjugate (ADC or PROTAC). These studies typically involve administering the conjugate to animal models, such as tumor-bearing mice, to assess its pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety. The PEG12 spacer contributes to the favorable pharmacokinetic profile of the conjugate by increasing its solubility and reducing its clearance.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a linker, m-PEG12-amine does not have independent pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. However, the PEG12 spacer is known to improve the PK of the final conjugate. The hydrophilic PEG chain reduces opsonization and clearance by the immune system, leading to a longer circulation half-life. This can result in improved drug exposure to the target tissue and enhanced efficacy.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicology of m-PEG12-amine is not typically evaluated independently. PEG is generally considered to be biocompatible and non-toxic. The compound is a non-cleavable linker, meaning it is designed to be stable and not metabolized, which contributes to its low inherent toxicity.
