PEGs
Mal-PEG10-NHSester does not target biological receptors; it serves as a chemical linker in PROTAC synthesis. In PROTACs, one end (malemide or NHS ester) links to a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, while the other end attaches to a ligand for a target protein, facilitating targeted protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. |
|---|---|
| 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 available. As a PROTAC linker, its in vitro activity is assessed when incorporated into a complete PROTAC molecule. The PEG10 spacer provides optimal distance between target-binding and E3 ligase-binding moieties. Linker length and composition critically influence PROTAC ternary complex formation and degradation efficacy. |
| ln Vivo |
Not available. PROTACs containing PEG10-based linkers have demonstrated in vivo efficacy in degrading target proteins and inducing anti-tumor effects in mouse xenograft models. The PEG spacer improves solubility and pharmacokinetic properties, with activity typically assessed by target protein knockdown measured by Western blot of tumor tissues.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Not available. Standard NHS ester reactivity assays involve incubating Mal-PEG10-NHSester (1-100 uM) with amine-containing molecules (e.g., lysine or amino-PEG derivatives) in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) at room temperature for 1-2 hours, followed by HPLC-MS analysis to confirm conjugation efficiency. Maleimide-thiol conjugation is assessed by similar methods with DTT-reduced thiols.
|
| Cell Assay |
Not available. For PROTAC activity assays, typical protocols involve treating target-expressing cells (e.g., cancer cell lines) with PROTACs synthesized using Mal-PEG10-NHSester (0.001-10 uM) for 4-24 hours, followed by Western blotting to quantify target protein degradation. PEG10 linkers generally exhibit low cellular toxicity as they are not pharmacologically active alone.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Not available. For in vivo studies of PROTACs containing PEG10 linkers, standard protocols involve intravenous or intraperitoneal administration (typically 10-100 mg/kg) in tumor-bearing mice, with target protein levels assessed in tumor and normal tissues by Western blot at 4-24 hours post-dose. Efficacy is monitored by tumor volume change over 2-4 weeks.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The PEG10 spacer improves aqueous solubility and reduces aggregation compared to shorter or hydrophobic linkers. The NHS ester is reactive with primary amines (pH 7-9), with a hydrolysis half-life of 1-4 hours in aqueous buffer. The maleimide group reacts with thiols (pH 6.5-7.5) with a half-life of minutes to hours.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The NHS ester is an irritant and may cause sensitization. The maleimide group can be toxic if not properly quenched. Mal-PEG10-NHSester is not intended for in vivo use as a free compound, as it is highly reactive. Specific toxicological studies have not been reported for this linker.
