| Targets |
As a synthetic PROTAC linker, this compound has no direct biological target. It serves as a rigid, short spacer to connect an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand and a target protein ligand. The cyclobutane ring imposes a fixed exit vector, which can pre-organize the PROTAC for optimal ternary complex formation. The primary amine can be acylated, and the primary alcohol can be activated (e.g., tosylate) for nucleophilic substitution.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
PROTAC contains two distinct ligands linked by a single linker: one is the ligand for the E13 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. In the final PROTAC, the rigid cyclobutyl linker influences degradation parameters (DC50 and Dmax). The constrained geometry can lead to improved degradation selectivity and lower DC50 values compared to flexible linkers. Degradation is measured in cell-based assays (Western blot or HTRF) using target-expressing cells 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 (e.g., xenografts) by measuring target protein knockdown in tissues via IHC or Western blot and assessing tumor growth inhibition. The cyclobutane ring is generally metabolically stable and can reduce off-target degradation compared to flexible linkers. The hydrochloride salt improves solubility for IV administration.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Not applicable for the isolated linker. For the final PROTAC, the primary amine is acylated with a carboxylic acid ligand using HATU or EDCI. The primary alcohol can be tosylated (TsCl, pyridine) or mesylated (MsCl, TEA) for nucleophilic substitution, or oxidized to an aldehyde/carboxylic acid for further conjugation. The cyclobutane ring structure is confirmed by NMR (characteristic upfield shifts). Binding affinity of the final PROTAC to its target is measured by SPR or TR-FRET.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell assays, the final PROTAC (containing this linker) is dissolved in DMSO to a 10-50 mM stock. Seed target-expressing cells (e.g., 5×10⁵ cells/well in 6-well plates) and allow to adhere overnight. Treat cells with increasing concentrations of the PROTAC (0.1 nM to 10 uM) for 48 hours. Harvest cells, wash with cold PBS, and lyse in RIPA buffer with protease inhibitors (30 min on ice). Centrifuge lysates at 16,000g for 15 min at 4degC. Quantify protein concentration by BCA assay. Perform Western blot using target-specific primary antibodies (1:1000) and HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:5000). Develop with ECL and quantify band intensity by densitometry to determine DC50.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal experiments, formulate the final PROTAC in a vehicle of 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, and 45% saline. Administer 10-30 mg/kg via intraperitoneal (IP) injection to BALB/c nude mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts (n=5 per group). Collect blood via tail vein at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose. Separate plasma by centrifugation and store at -80degC. Add internal standard and acetonitrile to plasma (50 uL), vortex, centrifuge, and analyze supernatant by LC-MS/MS. Harvest tumors at termination for Western blot analysis of target protein levels.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No PK data is available for the isolated linker. For the final PROTAC, the rigid cyclobutyl linker imparts good metabolic stability. Typical rodent PK parameters include a half-life (t1/2) of 3-8 hours, clearance (CL) of 15-35 mL/min/kg, volume of distribution (Vd) of 1-4 L/kg, and oral bioavailability (F%) of 10-25%. The polar hydroxymethyl and amine groups can increase solubility and reduce Vd. The primary amine may be acetylated in vivo.
|
| 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 of major organs. Cyclobutane rings are generally non-toxic. The hydrochloride salt form is well-tolerated at typical doses.
