Product Description
3,4-Dibromo-Mal-PEG2-amine TFA is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker, which belongs to the Polyethylene glycol (PEG) category and may be utilized to prepare PROTAC protein degraders.
3,4-Dibromo-Mal-PEG2-amine TFA is a heterobifunctional PEG-based PROTAC linker containing a 3,4-dibromomaleimide (dibromomaleimide) group and a primary amine (NH2) group separated by a 2-unit PEG spacer (PEG2), presented as a trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) salt. The dibromomaleimide group is a thiol-reactive group that can undergo Michael addition with thiol groups to form stable thioether bonds, and it also has the ability to be further functionalized via nucleophilic substitution of the bromine atoms. The primary amine can be conjugated to carboxylic acid-containing ligands via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS coupling. This linker is used in the synthesis of PROTACs, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and for protein labeling. The PEG2 spacer provides a short, hydrophilic linker. The molecular formula is C12H15Br2F3N2O6, and the molecular weight is 524.07. It has a standard purity of ≥95% and appears as a solid. It should be stored at -20degC, protected from light and 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, 3,4-Dibromo-Mal-PEG2-amine 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. The dibromomaleimide group reacts with thiols via Michael addition to form a stable thioether linkage. Additionally, the bromine atoms can be displaced by nucleophiles (e.g., amines, thiols) in a stepwise manner, allowing for the attachment of two different molecules (dual conjugation). The primary amine can be conjugated to a carboxylic acid-containing ligand via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS. The PEG2 spacer provides a short, hydrophilic, and flexible connection. The TFA salt improves 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 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 dibromomaleimide group can be characterized by its characteristic chemical shifts in NMR and by its UV absorption. The primary amine can be quantified by titration. The TFA counterion can be detected by ion chromatography.
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 dibromomaleimide group is reacted with a thiol-containing ligand (e.g., a cysteine-containing peptide or a thiol-functionalized small molecule) via Michael addition at pH 6.5-7.5. The remaining bromine atoms can be further substituted with a second thiol-containing ligand. The primary amine is conjugated to a carboxylic acid-containing ligand (e.g., an E3 ligase ligand) via EDC/NHS. 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 short PEG2 spacer may improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the conjugate.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
This compound has a molecular weight of 524.07, a molecular formula of C12H15Br2F3N2O6, and a standard purity of ≥95%. The IUPAC name is 1-(2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethyl)-3,4-dibromo-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate. For storage, it should be kept at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed, away from moisture and light. It is soluble in DMSO. The product should be stored under nitrogen. CAS: 2296708-07-9.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
This product is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic or clinical applications. Standard chemical safety precautions should be observed during handling. The dibromomaleimide group is reactive and should be handled with care. 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 3,4-dibromomaleimide group is a versatile thiol-reactive moiety that can undergo sequential nucleophilic substitution reactions, enabling the attachment of two different thiol-containing molecules in a controlled manner. This makes it a unique tool for constructing multifunctional PROTACs or ADCs with dual payloads. The two bromine atoms can be selectively substituted by controlling the reaction conditions (e.g., pH, temperature, stoichiometry). The PEG2 spacer provides a minimal hydrophilic linker, and the primary amine allows for amide coupling to a carboxylic acid-containing ligand. This linker is a valuable building block for advanced bioconjugation and targeted protein degradation research.
