Product Description
N,N'-Di-Boc-1,4-butanediamine is a PROTAC linker that can be used to synthesize PROTAC molecules.
N,N'-Di-Boc-1,4-butanediamine (CAS 33545-97-0) is a PROTAC linker consisting of a four-carbon aliphatic chain with Boc-protected primary amines at both ends. This homobifunctional, flexible spacer is also known as di-tert-butyl butane-1,4-diyldicarbamate. It is used to connect two identical ligands (for homodimers) or, after selective deprotection, two different ligands for the synthesis of heterobifunctional PROTACs.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As a synthetic PROTAC linker, this compound has no direct biological target. It serves as a flexible, aliphatic spacer to connect an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand (e.g., CRBN or VHL ligand) and a target protein ligand. The four-carbon (C4) chain provides a short-to-medium length spacer (approximately 5-6 Angstrom). The Boc groups protect the amines and are removable under acidic conditions (TFA/DCM).
ln Vitro
PROTAC contains two distinct ligands linked by a single linker: one is the ligand for the E748 ubiquitin ligase, and the other is the ligand for the target protein. PROTAC utilizes the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade the target protein.
No direct in vitro activity is reported for the isolated linker. Its biological activity is assessed only within the context of the fully assembled PROTAC molecule, where it influences degradation parameters such as DC50 (concentration for 50% target degradation) and Dmax (maximum degradation). These are typically measured by Western blot or HTRF in target-expressing cell lines after 24-48 hours of treatment.
ln Vivo
No direct in vivo activity is reported for the linker alone. For the final PROTAC, in vivo efficacy is evaluated in animal models such as subcutaneous tumor xenografts in mice. Endpoints include target protein knockdown in tissues via IHC or Western blot, tumor growth inhibition, and survival benefit over 2-6 weeks of dosing.
Enzyme Assay
Not applicable for the isolated linker. For the final PROTAC, the binding affinity (Kd) of the PROTAC to its target is measured by SPR or TR-FRET. The primary amines are acylated with carboxylic acid ligands using HATU or EDCI. The Boc groups are removed under acidic conditions (20-50% TFA/DCM, 1-2 hours). The reaction efficiency is monitored by HPLC-MS.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell assays, the final PROTAC is dissolved in DMSO (10-50 mM stock). Target-expressing cells (e.g., 5×10⁵ cells/well in 6-well plates) are treated with increasing concentrations of the PROTAC (0.1 nM to 10 uM) for 48 hours. Cells are lysed in RIPA buffer with protease inhibitors, and protein concentration is quantified by BCA assay. Target protein levels are analyzed by Western blot using specific primary antibodies (1:1000) and HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:5000). Bands are developed with ECL and quantified by densitometry to determine DC50 using non-linear regression.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal experiments, the final PROTAC is formulated in a vehicle such as 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, and 45% saline. The formulation is administered at 10-30 mg/kg via intraperitoneal (IP) injection to BALB/c nude mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts (n=5 per group). Blood is collected via tail vein at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. Plasma is separated by centrifugation and stored at -80degC. An internal standard and acetonitrile are added to plasma (50 uL), the sample is vortexed and centrifuged, and the supernatant is analyzed by LC-MS/MS to determine drug concentration. Tumors are harvested at termination for Western blot analysis.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No pharmacokinetic data is available for the isolated linker. For the final PROTAC, the flexible butyl linker leads to moderate metabolic stability. Typical rodent PK parameters include a half-life (t1/2) of 2-5 hours, clearance (CL) of 20-40 mL/min/kg, volume of distribution (Vd) of 2-4 L/kg, and oral bioavailability (F%) of 10-30%.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data is available for the isolated linker. For the final PROTAC, safety is evaluated in a 7-day exploratory toxicity study in rats (n=3/sex/group) at doses of 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg (IP). Endpoints include clinical observations, body weight, serum chemistry (ALT, AST, BUN, creatinine), and histopathology. The butyl chain is generally non-toxic.
Additional Infomation
This PROTAC linker has the molecular formula C14H28N2O4 and a molecular weight of 288.39 g/mol. It appears as a white to off-white solid powder with a purity of typically ≥95% by HPLC. Storage: powder at -20degC for 3 years or 4degC for 2 years; in solvent at -80degC for 6 months. It is soluble in DMSO, ethanol, and DMF. It is a valuable building block for the construction of peptides containing a 1,4-diaminobutane moiety.
