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.

| 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.
