Product Description
Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc is a conjugate of E3 ligase ligand and linker, consisting of Thalidomide and NH-PEG3-NH-Boc. Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc works as a Cereblon ligand to recruit CRBN proteins. The Boc protecting group at the end of Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc can be removed under acidic conditions and then participates in the synthesis/preparation of PROTAC molecules. Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc is a key intermediate in the synthesis/preparation of PROTAC molecules designed based on CRBN.
Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc (CAS 2204246-03-5) is a versatile E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate designed for use in targeted protein degradation technologies, such as PROTACs (Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras). This compound features a thalidomide-based cereblon (CRBN) ligand connected via a three-unit PEG linker to a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) protected primary amine. The Boc protecting group allows for selective deprotection under acidic conditions to reveal a free amine for further conjugation. As a bifunctional linker molecule, it is widely used in the design of PROTACs and other targeted drug delivery systems.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary molecular target of Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc is cereblon (CRBN), an E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate receptor. As a ligand for the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, this compound binds to CRBN and recruits the ubiquitin-proteasome system. In the context of PROTAC technology, the thalidomide moiety serves as the E3 ligase recognition element, while the PEG3 linker provides a spacer for conjugation to a target protein ligand. This bifunctional design enables the targeted degradation of specific proteins by bringing the target protein into proximity with the E3 ligase.
ln Vitro
In vitro studies demonstrate that Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc functions as a key component in PROTAC molecules. The compound contains a thalidomide-based cereblon ligand that binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase and a PEG3 linker with a Boc-protected amine that can be deprotected and conjugated to a target protein ligand. The PEG3 spacer provides appropriate length and flexibility for the formation of the ternary complex between the target protein, PROTAC, and E3 ligase. This compound is designed to facilitate targeted protein degradation in cellular systems through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc as a standalone compound are not reported, as it is utilized as a synthetic intermediate or linker component in PROTAC design rather than as a therapeutic agent itself. The in vivo efficacy of PROTAC molecules incorporating this thalidomide-based ligand and PEG3 linker would depend on the specific target protein ligand and the overall pharmacokinetic properties of the complete PROTAC construct. As a linker conjugate, its primary role is to facilitate targeted protein degradation through E3 ligase recruitment.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for evaluating Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc typically involve binding studies to assess its interaction with cereblon (CRBN), the E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate receptor. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or fluorescence polarization techniques can be used to measure the binding affinity (Kd) between the thalidomide-based ligand and CRBN. Additionally, ternary complex formation assays can be performed to evaluate the ability of PROTAC molecules containing this linker to simultaneously engage both the E3 ligase and the target protein. Competition binding assays using fluorescently labeled probes are also commonly used to determine the inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the ligand for CRBN binding.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc typically involve its incorporation into PROTAC molecules followed by evaluation of target protein degradation in cultured cells. Cells are treated with PROTACs containing this thalidomide-based ligand and PEG3 linker, and the levels of the target protein are measured by Western blotting or immunofluorescence to assess degradation efficiency. Dose-response experiments are performed to determine the DC50 (half-maximal degradation concentration) of the PROTAC construct. Additionally, cell viability and proliferation assays may be conducted to evaluate the functional consequences of target protein degradation.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies using Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc are conducted as part of the evaluation of complete PROTAC molecules that incorporate this thalidomide-based ligand and PEG3 linker. Typical protocols involve administering PROTAC constructs to mouse xenograft models or disease-relevant animal models, followed by assessment of target protein degradation in harvested tissues via Western blot or immunohistochemistry. Pharmacodynamic endpoints include measurement of target protein levels, downstream signaling pathway modulation, and tumor growth inhibition in efficacy studies. Dosing regimens are optimized based on the pharmacokinetic properties of the specific PROTAC construct.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a linker conjugate rather than a therapeutic drug, comprehensive pharmacokinetic data for Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc alone are limited. The compound has a molecular formula of C26H36N4O9 and a molecular weight of 548.59. The IUPAC name is tert-butyl (2-(2-(2-(2-((2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-4-yl)amino)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)carbamate. When incorporated into PROTAC molecules, the thalidomide-based ligand and PEG3 linker contribute to the overall physicochemical properties of the complete construct.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Thalidomide-NH-PEG3-NH-Boc as an individual compound is not extensively characterized, as it is primarily used as a research reagent and synthetic intermediate for PROTAC development. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for therapeutic use in humans. The thalidomide core structure is known to have teratogenic effects, and appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound. Standard laboratory safety practices, including the use of personal protective equipment and handling in a fume hood, are recommended.
