Product Description
endo-BCN-PEG2-NH2 is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker of the Polyethylene glycol (PEG) category, may be utilized to prepare PROTAC protein degraders.
endo-BCN-PEG2-NH2 is a PEG-based PROTAC linker and click chemistry reagent containing an endo-bicyclononyne (BCN) group and a primary amine (NH2) group connected by a 2-unit PEG spacer (PEG2). The BCN group is a strained alkyne that enables strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), a copper-free click chemistry reaction, with molecules containing azide groups to form a stable triazole linkage. The primary amine can be conjugated to carboxylic acid-containing ligands via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS coupling. The PEG2 spacer provides a short, hydrophilic, and flexible connection, reducing steric hindrance and improving water solubility. The endo-BCN isomer is more reactive than the exo-isomer. The molecular formula is C17H28N2O4, and the molecular weight is approximately 324.42. It has a standard purity of ≥95% and appears as a solid or viscous liquid. It should be stored at -20degC, sealed, away from moisture.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PEGs
PROTAC Linkers.
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].
As a linker molecule, endo-BCN-PEG2-NH2 itself has no intrinsic biological activity; it serves as a structural connector to join a target protein ligand and an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand in PROTAC synthesis. The BCN group is a strained alkyne that reacts specifically and rapidly with azide groups via SPAAC without the need for a copper catalyst. This copper-free click chemistry is bioorthogonal and biocompatible, making it ideal for conjugations in the presence of cells or biological samples. The primary amine allows for conjugation to carboxylic acid-containing ligands via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS. The PEG2 spacer provides a short, hydrophilic, and flexible connection. The orthogonal functional groups enable stepwise conjugation to two different ligands.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo activity has been reported for this linker alone; its activity is derived from the final PROTAC molecule after conjugation with appropriate ligands. The in vivo efficacy of a complete PROTAC is determined in animal models.
Enzyme Assay
N/A; this compound is not assessed in isolated enzyme/receptor binding assays. As a synthetic intermediate, its quality is typically confirmed by analytical methods such as HPLC and NMR, with a standard purity of ≥95%. The BCN group can be characterized by its characteristic chemical shifts in NMR (e.g., alkene protons around 5.5-6.0 ppm and bridgehead protons). The primary amine can be quantified by titration. The endo isomer can be distinguished from exo by NMR.
Cell Assay
N/A; this linker is not tested alone in cell-based assays. It is used as a building block for constructing PROTACs. In a typical synthesis, the BCN group is reacted with an azide-containing ligand via SPAAC in a buffer such as PBS at room temperature for 1-2 hours. The primary amine is conjugated to a carboxylic acid-containing ligand using EDC and NHS to form an amide bond. The copper-free click chemistry avoids the potential toxicity of copper catalysts, which is particularly beneficial if the conjugation is performed in the presence of live cells. The resulting PROTAC is then tested in cells for target degradation activity.
Animal Protocol
N/A; no animal studies are performed with the linker alone. For a complete PROTAC conjugate, in vivo studies are conducted following institutional guidelines. The compound is typically formulated using a vehicle containing DMSO, PEG300, Tween-80, and saline and administered via intraperitoneal (IP) or intravenous (IV) injection. The BCN group is stable under physiological conditions, making it suitable for in vivo click chemistry applications. The short PEG2 spacer may improve pharmacokinetic properties.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
This compound has a molecular weight of 324.42, a molecular formula of C17H28N2O4, and a standard purity of ≥95%. For storage, it should be kept at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed, away from moisture. It is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. The product should be protected from light. CAS: 1263166-93-3. The IUPAC name is (1R,8S,9s)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yn-9-ylmethyl (2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethyl)carbamate (endo).
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
This product is for research use only and is not for human or veterinary use. Standard chemical safety precautions should be observed during handling. The BCN group is reactive and should be handled with care to avoid premature reaction with azides in the environment. PROTAC is a registered trademark of Arvinas Operations, Inc., and is used under license. This compound is not an approved drug and has not been cleared for clinical use.

Additional Infomation
The endo-BCN group is one of the most reactive strained alkynes for copper-free click chemistry, with faster reaction kinetics than DBCO in many cases. This makes it ideal for rapid bioorthogonal conjugations in sensitive biological systems. The short PEG2 spacer provides a minimal hydrophilic linker that is optimal for target-E3 ligase pairs requiring a short, rigid connection. The combination of a BCN click handle and a primary amine provides orthogonal functional groups for stepwise conjugation to two different ligands. This linker is also widely used in bioconjugation, surface functionalization, and the development of targeted therapeutics and diagnostics.
