Product Description
Thalidomide-5-PEG3-NH2 is a ligand (for E3 ligase )-linker conjugate composed of Thalidomide (ligand for E3 ligase cereblon/CRBN) and a linker.
Thalidomide-5-PEG3-NH2 hydrochloride is a synthesized E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate that incorporates a Thalidomide-based cereblon ligand and a 3-unit PEG linker (PEG3) terminating in a primary amine (NH2) group, presented as a hydrochloride salt. This conjugate is used in PROTAC technology for targeted protein degradation, where the terminal primary amine can be conjugated to a carboxylic acid-containing target protein ligand via amide bond formation using standard coupling reagents (e.g., EDC/NHS). The PEG3 linker provides a short, hydrophilic, and flexible connection that enhances water solubility and reduces steric hindrance. The hydrochloride salt form improves solubility and handling. The molecular formula is C19H24ClN3O7, and the molecular weight is 441.86. It has a standard purity of ≥95-98% and appears as a solid. It should be stored at -20degC for long-term stability, sealed, away from moisture and light.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cereblon
CRBN (cereblon), an E3 ubiquitin ligase.
ln Vitro
The two distinct ligands that make up PROTAC are linked together by a linker; one ligand binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase, while the other binds to the target protein. Target proteins are specifically degraded by PROTAC through the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system [2].
As a cereblon-binding ligand-linker conjugate, Thalidomide-5-PEG3-NH2 hydrochloride itself has no intrinsic biological activity; its function is to recruit the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The terminal primary amine can be conjugated to a target protein ligand (or a linker attached to a target ligand) via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS or HATU coupling. 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 PEG3 linker provides a short, hydrophilic spacer that improves the aqueous solubility of the conjugate and the final PROTAC. The 5-position attachment site on the isoindole ring may preserve the binding affinity of the thalidomide core for cereblon better than modifications at the glutarimide nitrogen.
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 ≥95-98%. 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). The hydrochloride salt can be characterized by ion chromatography. The PEG3 spacer can be confirmed by NMR and mass spectrometry.
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 primary amine is reacted with a carboxylic acid-containing target protein ligand using EDC and NHS activation. 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 hydrochloride salt form improves the water solubility of the conjugate, facilitating the conjugation reaction in aqueous buffers.
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 PEG3 spacer may improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the conjugate by enhancing water solubility and reducing aggregation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
This compound has a molecular weight of 441.86, a molecular formula of C19H24ClN3O7, and a standard purity of ≥95-98%. For storage, it should be kept as a powder at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed, away from moisture and light. In a solvent, it can be stored at -80degC for 6 months or at -20degC for 1 month (sealed, away from moisture and light). It is soluble in DMSO. The IUPAC name is 2-(2-(2-(2-((2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-4-yl)amino)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethylamine hydrochloride. CAS: 2761385-81-1.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
This product is for research use only and is not for human or veterinary use. Standard chemical safety precautions should be followed during handling. The product is stable under recommended storage conditions. It is not an approved therapeutic drug and has not been cleared for clinical use. Thalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug with known teratogenic effects; this derivative is for research purposes only and should be handled with appropriate caution.

Additional Infomation
The 5-position attachment on the isoindole ring provides an alternative conjugation site that may preserve the binding affinity of the Thalidomide core for cereblon better than modifications at the glutarimide nitrogen. This design is based on the structure of PROTAC IRAK4 degrader-1, which utilizes a Thalidomide-5-linked PEG3-NH2 conjugate. The PEG3 linker provides a short, hydrophilic spacer that balances flexibility and solubility for many PROTAC applications. The hydrochloride salt form improves solubility and facilitates handling. This conjugate is a valuable building block for constructing cereblon-recruiting PROTACs with optimized linker lengths for specific target proteins.
