Product Description
m-PEG4-PFP ester is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker of the Polyethylene glycol (PEG) category, may be utilized to prepare PROTAC protein degraders.
m-PEG4-PFP ester is a PEG-based PROTAC (proteolysis-targeting chimera) linker belonging to the polyethylene glycol (PEG) category. It consists of a methoxy-PEG4 spacer terminated with a pentafluorophenyl (PFP) ester, a highly reactive activated ester that readily reacts with primary amines to form stable amide bonds. It is used to prepare PROTAC protein degraders.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PEGs
m-PEG4-PFP ester does not target a biological receptor; it is a chemical linker used in the synthesis of PROTACs. The PFP ester group reacts efficiently with primary amines (-NH2) on amino-containing molecules (e.g., E3 ligase ligands or target protein-binding ligands) to form stable amide bonds. The PEG4 spacer provides flexibility and hydrophilicity.
ln Vitro
A linker separates the two ligands that make up PROTACs; one ligand is for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the other is for the target protein. Target proteins are selectively degraded by PROTACs by taking advantage of the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system[1].
Not applicable. As a PROTAC linker, m-PEG4-PFP ester has no biological activity on its own. Its utility is assessed when incorporated into a complete PROTAC molecule by enabling conjugation between a target-binding moiety and an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety. The PEG4 linker length (approximately 4 ethylene glycol units) provides optimal spacing for ternary complex formation.
ln Vivo
Not applicable. m-PEG4-PFP ester is a chemical reagent used for PROTAC synthesis, not a therapeutic agent. It is not administered to animals as a free compound. PROTACs assembled using m-PEG4-PFP ester have been evaluated in vivo for target protein degradation and anti-tumor efficacy, but no specific in vivo data is provided for the linker itself.
Enzyme Assay
A standard conjugation protocol involves dissolving m-PEG4-PFP ester (1 equivalent, e.g., 1-10 micromol) in anhydrous DMF or DMSO. An amine-containing molecule (e.g., a ligand for an E3 ligase such as pomalidomide-NH2 or VHL ligand, 0.9-1.2 equivalents) and a base (e.g., DIPEA or TEA, 2-5 equivalents) are added. The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 2-24 hours. Progress is monitored by TLC or HPLC-MS. The product is purified by preparative HPLC or column chromatography.
Cell Assay
Not applicable. m-PEG4-PFP ester is not used directly in cell-based assays. The final PROTAC compound synthesized using this linker is evaluated in cellular degradation assays. A typical cellular protocol for PROTAC activity involves treating target-expressing cells (e.g., cancer cell lines) with the PROTAC (0.001-10 microM) for 4-24 hours, followed by Western blotting to quantify degradation of the target protein.
Animal Protocol
Not applicable. The in vivo efficacy of a PROTAC synthesized using m-PEG4-PFP ester would be assessed in xenograft mouse models. Typical protocols involve administering the PROTAC (e.g., 10-100 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal or intravenous injection in tumor-bearing mice, monitoring tumor volume for 2-4 weeks, and analyzing target protein levels in tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry or Western blot at study endpoint.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
m-PEG4-PFP ester has a molecular weight of 402.31 (C16H19F5O6) and CAS number 2952895-31-5. The PFP ester is a highly reactive activated ester that hydrolyzes rapidly in aqueous environments. For storage, the compound should be kept in a dry, anhydrous environment at -20degC to prevent hydrolysis. It is soluble in anhydrous DMF, DMSO, and dichloromethane.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
m-PEG4-PFP ester is a reactive chemical that can cause skin and eye irritation. The PFP ester group is susceptible to hydrolysis, releasing pentafluorophenol, which is an irritant. Standard laboratory safety precautions (gloves, goggles, fume hood) should be used when handling this compound. No additional toxicological data is provided.
