| Targets |
This compound has no biological target; it is a chemical linker. Its role is to connect an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand to a target protein ligand within a PROTAC molecule. The PEG2 spacer enhances aqueous solubility and reduces aggregation of the final PROTAC.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
One ligand is for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the other is for the target protein; these two ligands are joined by a linker to form PROTACs. The intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system is utilized by PROTACs to specifically destroy target proteins[1].
The linker itself possesses no in vitro pharmacological activity. It is a synthetic intermediate. Unconjugated, it does not affect cell viability, enzyme activity, or receptor binding at concentrations typically used (1-100 uM). |
| ln Vivo |
No in vivo activity is reported for the linker alone. In vivo activity would only be observed after incorporation into a complete PROTAC molecule, where the PEG2 linker contributes to favorable pharmacokinetic properties such as increased water solubility and reduced off-target aggregation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A non-cell assay is not applicable for the linker alone. However, its solubility can be tested by dissolution in common organic solvents (DMSO, DMF, dichloromethane) and water. The hydrochloride salt enhances crystallinity and stability for synthetic handling.
|
| Cell Assay |
The linker alone is not tested in cell assays. For validation, cells are treated with a PROTAC built from this linker (e.g., 0.1-10 uM, 4-24 h). Target degradation is measured by Western blot. The linker itself should show no biological effect.
|
| Animal Protocol |
No animal studies are performed with the linker alone. Complete PROTAC molecules containing this PEG2 linker are administered to rodents (IV or IP) in efficacy studies. The PEG2 spacer improves the pharmacokinetic profile by reducing hepatic clearance and increasing plasma half-life.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The linker alone has no defined PK. When incorporated into a PROTAC, the PEG2 moiety generally increases aqueous solubility and reduces protein binding, leading to a moderate volume of distribution and extended half-life compared to alkyl linkers.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The linker alone is non-toxic at the concentrations used for synthesis (e.g., <10 uM). The hydrochloride form is not associated with significant toxicity. PROTACs containing this linker must be evaluated individually for safety. Standard laboratory safety precautions apply.

| Additional Infomation |
NH2-PEG2-methyl acetate hydrochloride is a synthetic building block for PROTACs. The free NH2 group forms an amide bond with carboxyl groups on ligands; the methyl ester can be hydrolyzed to a carboxylic acid for alternative conjugation. It is for research use only. Store at 4degC, sealed, away from moisture.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (11.70 mM) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween-80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix well; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 and mix well; finally add 450 μL of physiological saline and adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (11.70 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Clear solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD saline and mix well. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
