| Targets |
The compound targets cereblon (CRBN), an E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate receptor within the CUL4-RBX1-DDB1-CRBN complex. The thalidomide-derived moiety binds to CRBN, recruiting the E3 ubiquitin ligase machinery. The 4-position attachment site orients the linker in a different direction relative to the CRBN binding pocket, potentially allowing access to target proteins that are unreachable from the 5-position. 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 C14 alkyl linker provides maximal reach.

| 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. PROTACs constructed with the 4-O-C14 linker may show different degradation profiles compared to 5-O-C14 analogs for certain target proteins due to altered geometry. Standard 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.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo efficacy studies with PROTACs incorporating the 4-O-C14 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 highly hydrophobic C14 linker significantly reduces aqueous solubility, requiring specialized formulation. 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) or surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The 4-position attachment may slightly influence binding affinity compared to 5-position analogs. For FP assays, purified CRBN-DDB1 complex is incubated with a fluorescently labeled thalidomide probe and varying concentrations of the test compound. Typical assay conditions: 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.1 mg/mL BSA. Thalidomide-based CRBN ligands typically exhibit KD values in the low micromolar range, with positional isomers showing comparable binding affinity as the core thalidomide pharmacophore is preserved.
|
| Cell Assay |
To construct a PROTAC, the terminal primary amine is conjugated to a target protein ligand containing a carboxylic acid via standard amide coupling chemistry using HATU or EDCI/HOBt. The reaction is typically performed in anhydrous DMF or DMSO with DIPEA as base at room temperature 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.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with PROTACs containing the 4-O-C14 linker follow standard xenograft protocols with careful attention to formulation. 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 highly hydrophobic compounds (e.g., 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween 80, 45% saline; or lipid-based formulations) and administered IP or IV at 1-30 mg/kg. 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 C14 linker is highly hydrophobic, resulting in very low aqueous solubility (<0.1 mg/mL). The 4-O attachment site may influence overall molecular shape. When incorporated into PROTACs, the C14 linker affects pharmacokinetics including limited solubility (requiring specialized formulations), high plasma protein binding (>99%), potentially prolonged half-life, and increased risk of off-target binding. The hydrochloride salt improves handling solubility. No dedicated PK studies are available. PROTACs with long 4-O alkyl linkers may show unique distribution patterns.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicology data specific to Thalidomide-4-O-C14-NH2 hydrochloride is not publicly available. Thalidomide derivatives are known teratogens causing severe birth defects via CRBN binding. The 4-O-C14 modification does not eliminate this risk. The highly lipophilic long alkyl chain may increase potential for tissue accumulation and off-target toxicities. Researchers must handle with extreme caution: work in a chemical fume hood, wear appropriate PPE (gloves, lab coat, safety glasses, face shield), avoid skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. Pregnant individuals should avoid handling. This product is for research use only; not for human or therapeutic use.
