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, Bromo-PEG7-alcohol 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 bromide group is a good leaving group that can undergo nucleophilic substitution (SN2) with nucleophiles such as thiols, amines, or carboxylates to attach a ligand. The hydroxyl group can be used for further functionalization, such as tosylation or mesylation to form good leaving groups, or oxidation to a carboxylic acid for amide bond formation. The PEG7 spacer provides a long, hydrophilic, and flexible connection, which can facilitate the formation of productive ternary complexes. The long PEG chain also improves water solubility and reduces aggregation. |
| 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 bromide group can be characterized by its chemical shift in NMR (adjacent methylenes shifted downfield). The hydroxyl group appears as a broad singlet around 2-5 ppm. The PEG7 spacer can be characterized by the characteristic PEG methylene signals around 3.5-3.7 ppm.
|
| 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 bromide group is displaced by a nucleophile (e.g., a thiol or amine) from a target protein ligand or an E3 ligase ligand in the presence of a base such as K2CO3. The hydroxyl group can be converted to a leaving group (e.g., tosylate) and displaced by another nucleophile, or oxidized to a carboxylic acid and coupled to an amine. The resulting PROTAC is then tested in cells for target degradation activity. The long PEG7 spacer may improve the water solubility of the final PROTAC.
|
| 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 long PEG7 spacer may significantly improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the conjugate by enhancing water solubility and reducing aggregation.

| Additional Infomation |
The combination of a bromide leaving group and a terminal hydroxyl on a long PEG7 spacer provides a versatile platform for constructing PROTACs. The bromide can be used for direct nucleophilic substitution, while the hydroxyl can be converted to a variety of functional groups for orthogonal conjugation. The long PEG7 spacer provides exceptional water solubility and flexibility, making it ideal for PROTACs targeting large protein complexes or proteins with binding sites far from the E3 ligase recruitment site. This linker is also widely used in bioconjugation, surface functionalization, and the development of drug delivery systems.
