Product Description
Cl-PEG6-acid is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker of the Polyethylene glycol (PEG) category, may be utilized to prepare PROTAC protein degraders.
Cl-PEG6-acid is a PEG-based PROTAC linker containing a terminal chlorine (Cl) atom and a terminal carboxylic acid (COOH) group connected by a 6-unit PEG spacer (PEG6). This heterobifunctional linker is used in the synthesis of PROTAC molecules, where the chloride group is a leaving group that can be displaced by nucleophilic reagents (e.g., thiols, amines) for bioconjugation, and the carboxylic acid can be activated with EDC/NHS to form amide bonds with primary amine-containing ligands. The PEG6 spacer provides water solubility, flexibility, and reduced steric hindrance. This compound is also known as 1-chloro-3,6,9,12,15,18-hexaoxahenicosan-21-oic acid. The molecular formula is C15H29ClO8, and the molecular weight is 372.84. It has a standard purity of ≥95% and appears as a liquid. It should be stored at -20degC for long-term stability, 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, Cl-PEG6-acid 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 chloride group is a leaving group that can undergo nucleophilic substitution (SN2) with nucleophiles such as thiols, amines, or carboxylates to attach a ligand. The carboxylic acid can be activated with EDC and NHS to form an amide bond with primary amine-containing ligands. The PEG6 spacer provides a long, hydrophilic, and flexible connection, which can facilitate the formation of productive ternary complexes. 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 chloride group can be characterized by its chemical shift in NMR (adjacent methylenes shifted downfield). The carboxylic acid proton appears as a broad singlet around 10-12 ppm. The PEG6 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 chloride 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 carboxylic acid is activated with EDC and NHS and reacted with a primary amine-containing ligand. The resulting PROTAC is then tested in cells for target degradation activity. The long PEG6 spacer improves water solubility of the reactants, facilitating the reactions in aqueous or mixed solvent systems.
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 PEG6 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 372.84, a molecular formula of C15H29ClO8, and a standard purity of ≥95%. The IUPAC name is 1-chloro-3,6,9,12,15,18-hexaoxahenicosan-21-oic acid. 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 stored in a sealed container, protected from light. The chloride group is reactive and should be handled with care. CAS: 2365309-92-6.
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 chloride group is reactive and should be handled with care to avoid premature reactions. 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 combination of a chloride leaving group and a carboxylic acid on a long PEG6 spacer provides a versatile platform for constructing heterobifunctional PROTACs. The chloride group can be displaced by a wide range of nucleophiles, including thiols, amines, and carboxylates, enabling the attachment of diverse ligands. The carboxylic acid allows for standard amide coupling. The long PEG6 spacer provides a balance of hydrophilicity and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of PROTAC applications. This linker is also widely used in bioconjugation, drug delivery system design, and the functionalization of biomolecules.
