PROTAC Linkers.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
As a linker molecule, Mal-PEG3-NH2 TFA 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, or to conjugate a payload to a targeting antibody in ADC applications. The maleimide group undergoes Michael addition with thiol groups at neutral to slightly acidic pH (typically pH 6.5-7.5), forming a stable thioether linkage. This reaction is rapid and specific, making it ideal for protein conjugations. The primary amine can be conjugated to a carboxylic acid-containing ligand via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS. The PEG3 spacer provides a short, hydrophilic linker that reduces steric hindrance and improves water solubility. The TFA salt improves handling and solubility.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity has been reported for this linker alone; its activity is derived from the final conjugate after conjugation with appropriate ligands. The in vivo efficacy of a complete PROTAC or ADC 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 maleimide group can be characterized by its characteristic UV absorption (around 300 nm) and by the disappearance of the thiol peak upon conjugation. The primary amine can be quantified by titration. The TFA counterion can be detected by ion chromatography. The IUPAC name is 1-(2-(2-(2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate.
|
| Cell Assay |
N/A; this linker is not tested alone in cell-based assays. It is used as a building block for constructing PROTACs or ADCs. In a typical conjugation workflow for ADCs, the maleimide group is reacted with the thiol groups of reduced antibody interchain disulfides at pH 6.5-7.5 for 1-2 hours at room temperature. The primary amine (after TFA neutralization) can be conjugated to a carboxylic acid-containing payload via EDC/NHS activation. The resulting conjugate is then tested in cells for its biological activity, such as target degradation (for PROTACs) or cytotoxicity (for ADCs).
|
| Animal Protocol |
N/A; no animal studies are performed with the linker alone. For a complete conjugate (PROTAC or ADC), in vivo studies are conducted following institutional guidelines. The conjugate is typically formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., PBS for ADCs, or DMSO/PEG300/Tween-80/saline for PROTACs) and administered via intravenous (IV) injection. The PEG3 spacer may improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the conjugate by enhancing water solubility and reducing aggregation.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
This compound has a molecular weight of 356.30, a molecular formula of C13H19F3N2O6, and a standard purity of ≥95%. The IUPAC name is 1-(2-(2-(2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate. It appears as a solid. For storage, it should be kept as a powder at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed, away from moisture and light. It is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. The product should be stored under nitrogen. The maleimide group is moisture-sensitive and should be handled under anhydrous conditions. CAS: 2830214-77-0.

| Additional Infomation |
The combination of a maleimide (thiol-reactive) and a primary amine (carboxylic acid-reactive) on a PEG3 spacer provides a versatile bioconjugation platform. This linker is widely used in the synthesis of ADCs, where the maleimide is conjugated to antibodies and the amine is conjugated to cytotoxic payloads. In PROTAC applications, it can be used to attach a target protein ligand (via the amine) and an E3 ligase ligand (via a thiol introduced on the ligand or via a maleimide-thiol reaction). The PEG3 spacer provides a balance of hydrophilicity and flexibility for many applications. The TFA salt form improves solubility and facilitates handling.
