Product Description
1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine is a PROTAC linker. 1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine can be used to synthesize PROTACs (such as PROTAC IRAK4 degrader-12).
1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine (4-Boc-1-piperazineacetic acid; CAS# 156478-71-6; C11H20N2O4; MW 244.29) is a PROTAC linker and a chemical building block. It features a piperazine ring with a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protecting group at one nitrogen and a carboxymethyl (-CH2COOH) group at the other nitrogen. It is an off-white to gray solid powder. This compound is used in the synthesis of PROTAC (Proteolysis-Targeting Chimera) molecules and as a building block for pharmaceuticals.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine is a PROTAC linker and has no direct biological target. As a PROTAC linker, it serves as a spacer connecting an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand (e.g., CRBN or VHL) to a target protein ligand. The piperazine ring provides conformational flexibility and can improve the solubility of the PROTAC molecule. The Boc group protects the piperazine nitrogen during synthesis and can be removed under acidic conditions to reveal a secondary amine for further conjugation. The carboxymethyl group (CH2COOH) can be activated (e.g., to an NHS ester) for amide bond formation with amine-containing ligands. This linker has been used to synthesize PROTAC IRAK4 degrader-12.
ln Vitro
The compound itself has no direct in vitro biological activity. It is a chemical building block for PROTAC synthesis. Its activity is assessed after conjugation to an E3 ligase ligand and a target protein ligand. The resulting PROTAC is then evaluated for its ability to induce target protein degradation in cells. The piperazine linker enhances solubility and may improve the cell permeability of the PROTAC.
ln Vivo
The compound is not a drug; it is a PROTAC linker. PROTACs synthesized using this linker can have potent in vivo activity. In xenograft mouse models, PROTACs are administered intraperitoneally or intravenously (10-100 mg/kg) once daily for 2-4 weeks. They induce sustained degradation of target proteins in tumors (>80% reduction) and inhibit tumor growth. This linker has been used in the development of PROTAC IRAK4 degrader-12.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable. 1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine is a PROTAC linker, not a standard enzyme inhibitor. Its purity (>97-98%) is assessed by HPLC. The structure is confirmed by ¹H NMR (Boc group delta 1.4-1.5 ppm, piperazine protons delta 2.4-3.5 ppm, CH2 delta 3.2 ppm, COOH delta 12.0-12.5 ppm) and mass spectrometry (ESI-MS, expected [M+H]+ m/z 245). Physicochemical properties: MW 244.29, off-white to gray solid powder, soluble in DMSO, stored at 2-8degC. No biological assays are applicable.
Cell Assay
Not applicable. 1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine is not used directly in cell-based assays; it is a building block for PROTAC synthesis. For PROTAC evaluation, cells expressing the target protein are seeded in 6-well plates (3×10⁵ cells/well) and treated with the PROTAC (0.1-1000 nM) for 4-24 h. Target protein degradation is assessed by Western blotting. DC₅0 is calculated from the dose-response curve. Cell viability is measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy of PROTACs incorporating 1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine can be evaluated in xenograft mouse models. For example, PROTAC IRAK4 degrader-12, which uses this linker, has been studied. Female BALB/c nude mice (6-8 wk) are subcutaneously inoculated with 5×10⁶ cancer cells. When tumors reach ~100-150 mm3, mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=6-8/group). The PROTAC is formulated in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween 80 + 45% saline and administered intraperitoneally at 10-100 mg/kg once daily or every other day for 2-4 weeks. Tumor volume is measured every 3 days with calipers, and tumors are excised for Western blot analysis of target protein levels.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific PK data is available for 1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine alone. When incorporated into a PROTAC (MW 800-1200), the overall PK properties are determined by the full PROTAC molecule. PROTACs generally have moderate to low oral bioavailability (<20%), short plasma half-life (1-4 h), high plasma protein binding (>90%), and rapid clearance. The piperazine linker improves solubility and may increase the metabolic stability of the PROTAC.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
For 1-Boc-4-carboxymethyl piperazine, hazard statements: H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation), H335 (May cause respiratory irritation). Signal word: Warning. Precautionary statements: P261 (Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray), P280 (Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection), P305+P351+P338 (IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes). Storage: at 2-8degC, sealed, protect from light.
