Product Description
mPEG-amine (MW 4000) can synthesize folic acid-conjugated polymer micelles for encapsulating the anti-cancer compound 9-nitrocamptothecin. Folic acid-conjugated polymer micelles are effective carriers of poorly soluble anticancer drugs, which can avoid macrophages and function through folate receptor (FR)-mediated endocytosis targeting tumor cells.
m-PEG15-amine (CAS 80506-64-5) is a linear, heterobifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative belonging to the class of discrete-length PEG (dPEG) linkers. It has a molecular weight of 559.7 g/mol. This compound is characterized by a methoxy group (-OCH₃) at one end and a primary amine group (-NH₂) at the other. The amine group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and carbonyls (ketones, aldehydes), making it a versatile linker for bioconjugation. The long, hydrophilic PEG15 spacer increases solubility in aqueous media and is used to improve the pharmacokinetic properties of therapeutic conjugates.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of m-PEG15-amine is not a biological receptor but rather chemical functional groups. 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 allows it to serve as a linker in bioconjugation strategies, facilitating the attachment of drugs or other molecules to target biomolecules.
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, m-PEG15-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 PEG15 spacer provides excellent hydrophilicity and flexibility, which can improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the final conjugate by increasing its solubility and reducing its immunogenicity.
ln Vivo
No direct in vivo activity is attributed to m-PEG15-amine itself. Its role is as a component in larger therapeutic constructs, such as ADCs and PROTACs. In these molecules, the PEG15 linker provides the appropriate distance and flexibility between the two functional components. For example, mPEG-amine (MW 4000) has been used to synthesize folic acid-conjugated polymer micelles for encapsulating anticancer compounds.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro characterization, m-PEG15-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-PEG15-amine itself. As a linker, it is incorporated into larger constructs (e.g., polymer micelles, ADCs, or PROTACs) that are then evaluated in cell culture. For example, polymer micelles containing this linker would be tested for their ability to deliver an encapsulated drug to cancer cells and induce cell death.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies with m-PEG15-amine are conducted using the final conjugate (e.g., polymer micelles, ADCs, or PROTACs). These studies typically involve administering the conjugate to animal models to assess its pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety. The PEG15 spacer contributes to the favorable pharmacokinetic profile of the conjugate by increasing its solubility and reducing its clearance.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a linker, m-PEG15-amine does not have independent pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. However, the PEG15 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-PEG15-amine is not typically evaluated independently. PEG is generally considered to be biocompatible and non-toxic.
