PROTAC Linkers. |

| ln Vitro |
As a linker molecule, Propargyl-PEG2-CH2COOH 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 terminal alkyne group is a click chemistry handle that can undergo CuAAc with azide-containing molecules to form a stable triazole linkage. This reaction is highly specific and can be performed under mild conditions. The carboxylic acid can be activated with EDC and NHS to form an amide bond with primary amine-containing ligands. The orthogonal functional groups (alkyne and carboxylic acid) enable stepwise conjugation to two different ligands. The PEG2 spacer provides a short, hydrophilic, and flexible connection, which can facilitate the formation of productive ternary complexes.
|
| ln Vivo |
No specific in vivo activity has been reported for this linker alone; its activity is derived from the final PROTAC molecule 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 alkyne group can be characterized by its characteristic IR absorption at around 2100-2260 cm-1. The terminal alkyne proton in 1H NMR typically appears as a triplet around 2.4-2.5 ppm (J ≈ 2.5 Hz) or a singlet around 2.0-3.0 ppm depending on the substitution pattern. The IUPAC name is 2-(2-(2-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)acetic acid.
|
| 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 alkyne group is reacted with an azide-containing ligand via CuAAc using CuSO4 and sodium ascorbate as catalyst in a THF/water mixture. The carboxylic acid is activated with EDC and NHS and reacted with a primary amine-containing ligand to form an amide bond. The resulting PROTAC is then tested in cells for target degradation activity. The PEG2 spacer is short and may be optimal for PROTACs targeting proteins with closely spaced binding sites.
|
| 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 PEG2 spacer may improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the conjugate by enhancing water solubility.

| Additional Infomation |
The short PEG2 spacer combined with a terminal alkyne and a carboxylic acid provides a minimalistic linker for constructing PROTACs. This linker is ideal for target-E3 ligase pairs that require a short, rigid connection for optimal ternary complex formation. The terminal alkyne enables CuAAc click chemistry with azide-functionalized ligands, providing a versatile conjugation strategy. The short PEG2 spacer may also be used as a building block for constructing longer linkers via iterative click chemistry or other coupling reactions. This compound is a valuable tool for studying structure-activity relationships in PROTAC design.
