Product Description
(S,R,S)-AHPC-CO-C9-acid is a ligand (for E3 ligase)-linker conjugate that attaches to a protein's ligand to form a PROTAC.
(S,R,S)-AHPC-CO-C9-acid (VH032-NH-CO-C9-acid) is a synthesized E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate that incorporates the (S,R,S)-AHPC-based VHL (von Hippel-Lindau) E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand and a nine-carbon (C9) alkyl linker with an amide bond terminating in a carboxylic acid (COOH) group. This conjugate is used in the synthesis of PROTAC molecules, where the terminal carboxylic acid can be conjugated to a target protein ligand via amide bond formation using standard coupling reagents (e.g., EDC/NHS). The long C9 alkyl spacer provides extended flexibility and distance between the VHL ligand and the conjugated target protein ligand, which can be crucial for forming productive ternary complexes with certain target proteins. The amide bond within the linker adds structural rigidity and may improve metabolic stability. The molecular formula is C38H54N4O6S, and the molecular weight is approximately 694.92. It has a standard purity of ≥98% and appears as a solid. It should be stored at -20degC for long-term stability, sealed, away from moisture.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
VHL (von Hippel-Lindau), an E3 ubiquitin ligase.
ln Vitro
As a VHL-binding ligand-linker conjugate, (S,R,S)-AHPC-CO-C9-acid itself has no intrinsic biological activity; its function is to recruit the VHL E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The terminal carboxylic acid is conjugated to a target protein ligand via amide bond formation using standard coupling reagents (e.g., EDC, HATU). The resulting PROTAC can simultaneously bind to both a target protein and VHL, leading to ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of the target protein. The long C9 alkyl spacer provides extended flexibility and distance, which can be optimal for target proteins with binding sites that are far from the VHL recruitment site. The amide linkage may enhance stability. The (S,R,S)-AHPC (VH032) VHL ligand is one of the most commonly used E3 ligase recruiters in PROTAC design.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo activity has been reported for this conjugate alone; its in vivo degradation activity is observed only when conjugated to a target protein ligand to form a complete PROTAC molecule. The in vivo efficacy of such a PROTAC is typically evaluated in animal models of target-driven diseases.
Enzyme Assay
N/A; this compound is not assessed in isolated enzyme/receptor binding assays. As a synthetic intermediate, its quality is confirmed by analytical methods such as HPLC and NMR, with a standard purity of ≥98%. Its binding affinity to VHL is validated as part of a complete PROTAC construct using biophysical methods such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The C9 alkyl linker and amide bond can be characterized by mass spectrometry and NMR.
Cell Assay
N/A; this conjugate is not tested alone in cell-based assays but is used as a building block for constructing PROTACs. In a typical conjugation step, the terminal carboxylic acid is activated with EDC and NHS and reacted with a primary amine-containing target protein ligand. The resulting PROTAC is then tested in target-expressing cancer cells for degradation activity by Western blotting to determine the DC50 (half-maximal degradation concentration). The long C9 alkyl linker may be critical for achieving degradation activity for certain target proteins where shorter linkers are ineffective.
Animal Protocol
N/A; no animal studies are performed with the ligand-linker conjugate alone. For in vivo studies of a complete PROTAC, the molecule is formulated in a suitable vehicle (e.g., 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, 5% Tween-80, 45% saline) and administered to animal models via intraperitoneal (IP) or intravenous (IV) injection. Target degradation in tissues and tumor growth inhibition are monitored. The long C9 spacer may improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the conjugate by enhancing flexibility and membrane permeability.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
This compound has a molecular weight of approximately 694.92, a molecular formula of C38H54N4O6S, and a standard purity of ≥98%. The IUPAC name is (2S,4R)-1-((S)-2-acetamido-3,3-dimethylbutanoyl)-4-hydroxy-N-((S)-1-((4-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)benzyl)amino)-1,9-dioxo-9-((9-oxo-9-((2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-4-yl)amino)nonyl)amino)nonan-4-yl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide? This is complex. For storage, it should be kept as a solid at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed, away from moisture. It is soluble in DMSO. The product should be stored in a sealed container under an inert atmosphere. CAS: 2172819-78-0.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
This product is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic or clinical applications. Standard chemical safety precautions should be followed during handling. The product is stable under recommended storage conditions. It is not an approved therapeutic drug and has not been cleared for clinical use.

Additional Infomation
The long C9 alkyl linker (nine-carbon chain) provides an extended, flexible, and hydrophobic spacer that can be optimal for target-E3 ligase pairs requiring a long distance between binding sites. The amide bond within the linker introduces a polar, rigid element that may enhance metabolic stability and reduce aggregation compared to purely hydrophobic alkyl linkers. This conjugate is a valuable building block for developing VHL-recruiting PROTACs with optimized linker lengths for specific target proteins. The terminal carboxylic acid enables direct conjugation to target protein ligands via standard amide coupling.
