| Targets |
The compound targets cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor component of the CUL4-RBX1-DDB1-CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The thalidomide-based ligand binds to CRBN, recruiting the E3 ubiquitin ligase machinery. When conjugated to a target protein ligand, the resulting PROTAC molecule brings the target protein into proximity with the E3 ligase, facilitating target ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. The C11 alkyl linker (11 carbons) is hydrophobic and provides significant spatial separation between the CRBN ligand and the conjugated target ligand.

| ln Vitro |
In vitro activity of this compound is realized through its use as a PROTAC building block. When conjugated to a target protein-binding ligand, the resulting PROTAC induces target protein ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation. The ligand-linker conjugate alone exhibits minimal intrinsic biological activity. In cell-based assays, PROTACs constructed with C11 alkyl linkers have been evaluated for degradation of various target proteins. Typical validation involves treating cells with the PROTAC at concentrations ranging from 0.001-10 uM for 4-24 hours, followed by Western blot analysis to quantify target protein levels. The C11 linker length may be optimal for target proteins requiring moderate-to-long separation between the CRBN binding site and the target binding epitope.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo efficacy studies with PROTACs incorporating the C11 linker are typically conducted in murine xenograft models. Complete PROTAC molecules are administered to tumor-bearing immunodeficient mice via intraperitoneal (IP) or intravenous (IV) routes at doses ranging from 1-30 mg/kg. Dosing frequency is typically daily or every other day for 2-4 weeks. The hydrophobic C11 alkyl linker reduces aqueous solubility, requiring formulation with co-solvents such as DMSO, PEG300, Tween 80, or cyclodextrins. Efficacy is assessed by tumor volume measurements, Western blot analysis of target protein degradation in harvested tumor tissues, and evaluation of pharmacodynamic biomarkers.

| Enzyme Assay |
CRBN-binding affinity can be measured using fluorescence polarization (FP) competitive binding assays or surface plasmon resonance (SPR). For FP assays, purified CRBN-DDB1 complex is incubated with a fluorescently labeled thalidomide probe and varying concentrations of the test compound. IC50 values are determined by measuring probe displacement. Typical assay conditions: 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.1 mg/mL BSA. The C11 linker attached at the 5-O position is a standard attachment site that does not interfere with the CRBN binding interface. Thalidomide-based CRBN ligands typically exhibit KD values in the low micromolar range (approximately 1-10 uM).

| Cell Assay |
To construct a PROTAC molecule, the terminal primary amine is conjugated to a target protein ligand containing a carboxylic acid via standard amide coupling chemistry. General protocol: The target ligand carboxylic acid (1.0 equiv) is dissolved in anhydrous DMF or DMSO, then HATU or EDCI/HOBt (1.2 equiv) and DIPEA (2-3 equiv) are added and the mixture is stirred for 10-30 minutes at room temperature. The amine linker (1.0-1.2 equiv) is then added, and the reaction is stirred for 2-12 hours. The resulting PROTAC is purified by preparative HPLC and characterized by LC-MS. For cellular activity validation, cells are treated with the PROTAC (0.001-10 uM, 4-24 h), then lysed and analyzed by Western blotting to assess target protein degradation. Control treatments include the unconjugated target ligand alone and the CRBN ligand alone.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with PROTACs containing the C11 linker follow standard xenograft protocols. Immunodeficient mice (nude or NSG, 6-8 weeks old, n=5-10 per group) bearing subcutaneous human tumor xenografts (approximately 100-200 mm3) are randomized into treatment groups. PROTACs are formulated in a vehicle suitable for hydrophobic compounds (e.g., 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, 45% saline; or 10% DMSO, 90% corn oil) and administered IP or IV at 1-30 mg/kg. Dosing frequency ranges from once daily to three times weekly. Tumor volumes and body weights are recorded every 2-3 days. At study termination (2-4 weeks), tumors are harvested for Western blot or IHC analysis of target protein degradation, and plasma is collected for PK analysis.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
For the standalone ligand-linker conjugate, the C11 alkyl linker is hydrophobic, resulting in very low aqueous solubility (<0.1 mg/mL in simple buffers) and high lipophilicity. When incorporated into PROTACs, the C11 linker affects pharmacokinetic properties including limited aqueous solubility (requiring specialized formulations), high plasma protein binding, potentially prolonged half-life due to slow clearance, but also increased risk of non-specific binding and off-target toxicity. The hydrochloride salt form improves handling solubility to some extent. No dedicated PK studies are available for this specific linker variant. PROTACs containing C11 alkyl linkers typically require parenteral administration.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicology data specific to Thalidomide-5-O-C11-NH2 hydrochloride is not publicly available. Thalidomide derivatives are known teratogens causing severe birth defects via CRBN binding. The hydrophobic C11 linker does not eliminate this risk. Additionally, highly lipophilic compounds may have increased potential for tissue accumulation and off-target toxicities. Researchers must handle this compound with extreme caution: work in a chemical fume hood, wear appropriate PPE (gloves, lab coat, safety glasses), avoid skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. Pregnant or potentially pregnant individuals should avoid handling. This product is for research use only; not for human or therapeutic use. No clinical safety data exists for this specific compound.
