PEGs
As a PEG-based PROTAC linker, Benzyl-PEG2-acid does not have a specific biological target itself but serves as a structural component in PROTAC molecules. The PEG category of linkers is used to connect the E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand to the target protein ligand in PROTAC design. The carboxylic acid group allows for conjugation to primary amines via amide bond formation. The benzyl group serves as a protecting group that can be removed via hydrogenolysis to reveal a free hydroxyl for further functionalization. |

| 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].
Benzyl-PEG2-acid functions as a linker component in in vitro PROTAC synthesis and bioconjugation applications. The carboxylic acid group allows for efficient conjugation to primary amines via amide bond formation. The PEG2 spacer provides water solubility and molecular flexibility. The benzyl group can be removed by hydrogenation to reveal a free hydroxyl for further functionalization. In vitro studies typically involve conjugation of this linker to various ligands to evaluate its effectiveness in facilitating protein degradation. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for Benzyl-PEG2-acid as a standalone compound are not reported, as it is utilized as a synthetic linker rather than as a therapeutic agent. The in vivo efficacy of PROTAC molecules incorporating this PEG2 linker would depend on the specific target protein ligand and the overall pharmacokinetic properties of the complete PROTAC construct. As a hydrophilic PEG-based linker, it may contribute to improved pharmacokinetic properties of conjugated molecules by enhancing solubility.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Benzyl-PEG2-acid typically involve conjugation studies rather than direct binding measurements. The carboxylic acid group can be activated for conjugation to primary amines, and conjugation efficiency can be assessed by techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, or HPLC. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) may be employed to evaluate the binding of PROTAC molecules containing this linker to their targets. The PEG2 spacer minimizes steric hindrance during conjugation.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays using Benzyl-PEG2-acid typically involve its incorporation into PROTAC molecules, followed by evaluation in cell culture systems. Cells are treated with PROTACs containing this PEG2 linker, and target protein degradation is measured by Western blotting or immunofluorescence. Dose-response experiments are performed to determine optimal concentrations for degradation studies. The PEG2 chain provides water solubility, facilitating compound handling and delivery in cell culture media.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies using Benzyl-PEG2-acid are conducted as part of the evaluation of complete PROTAC molecules that incorporate this PEG2 linker. Typical protocols involve administering PROTAC constructs to animal models, followed by assessment of pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, or efficacy. The PEG2 spacer is expected to improve the pharmacokinetic profile by increasing hydrophilicity. Dosing regimens vary depending on the specific construct being evaluated and the disease model under study.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a linker rather than a therapeutic drug, comprehensive pharmacokinetic data for Benzyl-PEG2-acid alone are not available. The compound has a molecular formula of C12H16O4 and a molecular weight of 224.25. The IUPAC name is 3-(2-phenylmethoxyethoxy)propanoic acid. It is a PEG linker containing a benzyl protecting group and a carboxylic acid group.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Benzyl-PEG2-acid as an individual compound is not extensively characterized, as it is primarily used as a research reagent and synthetic linker. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for therapeutic use in humans. Standard laboratory safety practices, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended.
