| Targets |
m-PEG8-NHS ester targets primary amine groups (-NH₂) on proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules. The NHS ester reacts with amines to form stable amide bonds. In ADCs, it connects the antibody to the cytotoxic payload. The non-cleavable nature ensures stable payload attachment.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
An ADC cytotoxin is connected to an antibody by use of an ADC linker to form an ADC.
As a chemical linker, m-PEG8-NHS ester has no intrinsic pharmacological activity. Its utility is defined by its amine-reactive NHS ester group. The PEG8 spacer provides excellent water solubility and flexibility. The monodisperse PEG structure allows precise control over conjugation. |
| ln Vivo |
No direct in vivo activity is attributed to m-PEG8-NHS ester. It functions as a linker in ADCs. The NHS ester group reacts with amines on antibodies to form stable amide linkages. The PEG8 spacer improves solubility and reduces immunogenicity of the final conjugate.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For non-cell-based assays, m-PEG8-NHS ester is characterized by NMR and HPLC. The NHS ester reactivity can be assessed by reacting with a model amine and monitoring by HPLC or LC-MS. Purity is confirmed by elemental analysis (nitrogen content 2.50-3.00%).
|
| Cell Assay |
Cell-based assays are not performed on m-PEG8-NHS ester alone. It is used to synthesize ADCs, which are then evaluated in cell culture. Standard protocols involve treating cancer cell lines with the ADC at 0.001-10 µM for 24-72 hours. Cytotoxicity is measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies with m-PEG8-NHS ester are conducted using the final ADC construct. Typical protocols involve administering the ADC to tumor-bearing mouse models via intravenous injection at 1-10 mg/kg. The PEG8 spacer contributes to prolonged circulation and enhanced efficacy.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a linker, m-PEG8-NHS ester does not have independent PK properties. The PEG8 spacer improves aqueous solubility and reduces clearance. The compound has a molecular weight of 509.55. Storage frozen below 0°C under inert gas is recommended (moisture sensitive).
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicology data specific to m-PEG8-NHS ester are limited. The NHS ester is reactive and may hydrolyze; standard safety precautions apply. The PEG8 moiety is biocompatible.

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.
