Product Description
Mal-amido-PEG2-NHS ester is a non-cleavable (non-degradable) ADC linker containing maleimide groups and NHS ester. NHS ester may be utilized to label proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules with primary amines (-NH2).
Mal-amido-PEG2-NHS (CAS#: 955094-26-5) is a heterobifunctional PEG linker containing a maleimide group and an N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester. The maleimide group reacts specifically with thiol groups, while the NHS ester reacts with primary amines to form stable amide bonds. This compound is widely used in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) synthesis and protein labeling applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
This compound is a chemical linker rather than a drug with a specific biological target. It serves as a conjugation tool for attaching payloads to antibodies or other proteins via amine and thiol chemistry.
ln Vitro
Mal-amido-PEG2-NHS does not possess intrinsic biological activity. Its utility is demonstrated through conjugation reactions: the NHS ester reacts with lysine amines on proteins (pH 7.2-8.5) to form amide bonds, while the maleimide reacts with cysteine thiols (pH 6.5-7.5) to form stable thioether bonds. The PEG spacer enhances solubility.
ln Vivo
This compound is not designed for direct in vivo administration. Its in vivo relevance is demonstrated through the efficacy of ADCs or conjugates synthesized using this linker. The hydrophilic PEG2 spacer increases aqueous solubility and reduces aggregation of conjugated proteins.
Enzyme Assay
Conjugation efficiency is assessed by HPLC, LC-MS, or MALDI-TOF. NHS ester hydrolysis is pH-dependent; reactions are typically performed at pH 7.4 in PBS or HEPES buffer. Maleimide-thiol reactions are conducted at pH 6.5-7.5. The degree of conjugation (drug-to-antibody ratio) is determined by UV-Vis or mass spectrometry.
Cell Assay
No cell-based assays are performed for the linker itself. Cell-based assays are conducted with the final ADC conjugate. These include cell viability assays on target antigen-expressing cancer cell lines, receptor binding assays assessed by flow cytometry, and internalization studies by confocal microscopy.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy studies are performed with the final ADC conjugate in mouse xenograft models. Tumor-bearing mice are treated with the conjugate via intravenous administration. Tumor growth inhibition, body weight, and survival are monitored. Pharmacokinetic studies assess conjugate stability and payload release.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Mal-amido-PEG2-NHS has molecular weight approximately 427.4 and formula C18H25N3O8. It is soluble in DMSO, DMF, and acetonitrile. The NHS ester is moisture-sensitive and should be stored desiccated at -20°C. The PEG2 spacer provides hydrophilicity. As a linker, it is not intended for standalone pharmacokinetic characterization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
As a chemical linker rather than a therapeutic agent, Mal-amido-PEG2-NHS has no intrinsic toxicity. Toxicity is assessed at the level of the final ADC or conjugate. The PEG moiety is biocompatible. Standard toxicological assessments are performed with the complete conjugate in preclinical development.

Additional Infomation
Mal-amido-PEG2-NHS is a research-grade PEG linker used for bioconjugation applications including ADC synthesis and protein labeling. The NHS ester enables efficient conjugation to amine-containing molecules, while the maleimide enables thiol-specific conjugation. No clinical trials or approved therapeutic applications exist for this linker as a standalone compound.
