Product Description
Thalidomide-4-O-C10-COOH is a ligand (for E3 ligase)-linker conjugate that may be utilized in the preparation /synthesis of PROTACs.
Thalidomide-4-O-C10-COOH is a synthesized E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate that incorporates a Thalidomide-based cereblon ligand and a ten-carbon (C10) alkyl linker terminating in a carboxylic acid (COOH) group. This conjugate is used in PROTAC technology to recruit the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for targeted protein degradation. The long C10 alkyl spacer provides extended flexibility and distance between the cereblon ligand and the conjugated target protein ligand, which is crucial for forming productive ternary complexes with certain target proteins. The ether linkage at the 4-position of the isoindole ring attaches the linker. This compound is widely used in chemical biology and drug development for modulating protein homeostasis. The molecular formula is C24H30N2O7, and the molecular weight is 458.50. It appears as a solid with a purity of ≥98.86%. It should be stored long-term in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, and desiccated at -20degC, protected from light.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CRBN (cereblon), an E3 ubiquitin ligase.
ln Vitro
As a cereblon-binding ligand-linker conjugate, Thalidomide-4-O-C10-COOH itself has no intrinsic biological activity; its function is to bind to cereblon and recruit the 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/NHS). The resulting PROTAC can simultaneously bind to both a target protein and cereblon, leading to ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of the target protein. The long C10 alkyl spacer provides extended flexibility and optimal distance for ternary complex formation with certain target proteins, particularly those with binding sites that are distant from the E3 ligase recruitment site.
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 cereblon is validated as part of a complete PROTAC construct using biophysical methods such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
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 length of the C10 linker can significantly affect the degradation potency and selectivity of the resulting PROTAC.
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 extended C10 linker may improve the in vivo efficacy of the PROTAC by facilitating productive ternary complex formation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
This compound has a molecular weight of 458.50, a molecular formula of C24H30N2O7, and a purity of ≥98.86%. It appears as a solid. The IUPAC name is 11-({2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-4-yl}oxy)undecanoic acid. For storage, it should be kept long-term in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, and desiccated at -20degC, protected from light. The product should be stored under nitrogen to avoid moisture absorption. It is soluble in DMSO. SMILES: O=C(O)CCCCCCCCCCCOC1=CC=CC(C(N2C(CC3)C(NC3=O)=O)=O)=C1C2=O.
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. It is a PROTAC building block and is not an approved therapeutic drug. The product should be stored in a sealed and protected environment (e.g., under nitrogen) to avoid moisture absorption and protected from light.

Additional Infomation
The ten-carbon alkyl linker (C10) is one of the longest alkyl spacers commonly used in PROTAC linker design. This extended length is particularly useful for targeting proteins with binding sites that are distant from the E3 ligase recruitment site, enabling the formation of a productive ternary complex. The ether linkage at the 4-position of the isoindole ring provides a stable connection between the thalidomide core and the alkyl linker. This conjugate is a key building block for developing cereblon-recruiting PROTACs with optimized linker lengths for specific target proteins.
