Product Description
Azido-PEG4-azide is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker and belongs to the PEG (Polyethylene glycol) class. Azido-PEG4-azide may be utilized to prepare PROTAC molecules. Azido-PEG4-azide is a reagent for click chemistry. It has an azide (N3) moiety and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing an alkyne group. SPAAC (Strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition) may also happen with compounds bearing a BCN or DBCO group.
Azido-PEG4-azide (CAS 182760-73-2) is a PEG-based PROTAC linker used for synthesizing PROTACs. This compound is a click chemistry reagent containing two azide groups at both termini, connected by a PEG4 spacer. The azide groups can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing alkyne groups. As a PEG-based PROTAC linker, it belongs to the Polyethylene glycol (PEG) category. The PEG4 spacer provides water solubility and molecular flexibility.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PEGs
As a PEG-based PROTAC linker, Azido-PEG4-azide 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 azide groups enable bioorthogonal click chemistry conjugation to alkyne-functionalized molecules. The PEG4 spacer provides water solubility and minimizes steric hindrance during conjugation.
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. PROTACs target and selectively degrade target proteins by taking advantage of the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system.
Azido-PEG4-azide functions as a linker component in in vitro PROTAC synthesis and click chemistry applications. The azide groups allow for efficient conjugation to alkyne-containing molecules via CuAAc click reactions. The PEG4 spacer provides water solubility and molecular flexibility. In vitro studies typically involve click conjugation of this linker to various ligands to evaluate its effectiveness in facilitating protein degradation. The compound is also known as 1,14-diazido-3,6,9,12-tetraoxatetradecane.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Azido-PEG4-azide as a standalone compound are not reported, as it is utilized as a synthetic linker or click chemistry reagent rather than as a therapeutic agent. The in vivo efficacy of PROTAC molecules incorporating this PEG4 linker would depend on the specific target protein ligand and the overall pharmacokinetic properties of the complete PROTAC construct.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Azido-PEG4-azide typically involve click conjugation studies rather than direct binding measurements. The azide groups can be conjugated to alkyne-functionalized molecules via CuAAc click reactions, 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.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays using Azido-PEG4-azide typically involve its incorporation into PROTAC molecules via click chemistry, followed by evaluation in cell culture systems. Cells are treated with PROTACs containing this PEG4 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 PEG4 chain provides water solubility, facilitating compound handling and delivery in cell culture media.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies using Azido-PEG4-azide are conducted as part of the evaluation of complete PROTAC molecules that incorporate this PEG4 linker. Typical protocols involve administering PROTAC constructs to animal models, followed by assessment of pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, or efficacy. The PEG4 spacer is expected to improve the pharmacokinetic profile by increasing hydrophilicity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a linker rather than a therapeutic drug, comprehensive pharmacokinetic data for Azido-PEG4-azide alone are not available. The compound has a molecular formula of C10H20N6O4 and a molecular weight of 288.30. The compound appears as a liquid. It has a purity of ≥97%. It is a click chemistry reagent containing two azide groups.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Azido-PEG4-azide 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. Azide-containing compounds can be potentially explosive and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions. Standard laboratory safety practices are recommended.
