Product Description
m-PEG12-Thiol is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker, belonging to the Polyethylene glycol (PEG) category, may be utilized to prepare PROTAC protein degraders.
m-PEG12-Thiol (CAS 2413368-61-1) is a long, monofunctional polyethylene glycol derivative composed of a 12-unit PEG chain terminated with a free thiol group. It is classified as a PEG-based PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTAC protein degraders. The PEG12 spacer enhances water solubility, provides molecular flexibility, and minimizes steric hindrance, enabling efficient conjugation across diverse biomolecules and materials. The thiol functionality allows strong, selective binding to gold, maleimide, or other thiol-reactive groups, making it particularly useful in surface modification, nanoparticle stabilization, and bioconjugation. With its extended hydrophilic backbone, m-PEG12-thiol improves biocompatibility, reduces protein adsorption, and increases stability in biological environments.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PEGs
As a PEG-based PROTAC linker, m-PEG12-Thiol does not have a specific biological target itself but serves as a structural component in PROTAC molecules. The PEG category of linkers is used to connect the E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand to the target protein ligand in PROTAC design. In this context, one ligand binds to an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other binds to the target protein; these two ligands are joined by the linker to form PROTACs. The intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system is then utilized by PROTACs to specifically destroy target proteins. The thiol group provides a reactive handle for conjugation to various functional groups.
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].
m-PEG12-Thiol functions as a linker component in in vitro PROTAC synthesis and bioconjugation applications. The PEG12 spacer enhances water solubility and provides molecular flexibility, which is critical for the formation of the ternary complex between the target protein, PROTAC, and E3 ligase. The thiol functionality allows strong, selective binding to maleimide or gold surfaces, making it useful for surface modification and nanoparticle stabilization. In vitro studies typically involve conjugation of this linker to various ligands or surfaces to evaluate its effectiveness in facilitating protein degradation or biomolecule immobilization.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for m-PEG12-Thiol as a standalone compound are not reported, as it is utilized as a synthetic linker or bioconjugation reagent rather than as a therapeutic agent. The in vivo efficacy of PROTAC molecules incorporating this PEG12 linker would depend on the specific target protein ligand and the overall pharmacokinetic properties of the complete PROTAC construct. As a hydrophilic PEG-based linker, it may contribute to improved pharmacokinetic properties of conjugated molecules by enhancing solubility and reducing immunogenicity.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for m-PEG12-Thiol typically involve conjugation studies rather than direct binding measurements. The thiol group is used to conjugate the linker to maleimide-activated proteins, peptides, or surfaces via Michael addition chemistry. Binding efficiency can be assessed by measuring the degree of conjugation using techniques such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, or gel electrophoresis. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) may be employed to evaluate the binding of PEGylated molecules to their targets. The PEG12 spacer minimizes steric hindrance, allowing efficient conjugation and maintaining the biological activity of the conjugated molecule.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays using m-PEG12-Thiol typically involve its incorporation into PROTAC molecules or bioconjugates, followed by evaluation in cell culture systems. For PROTAC applications, cells are treated with PROTACs containing this PEG12 linker, and target protein degradation is measured by Western blotting or immunofluorescence. For bioconjugation applications, the linker may be used to PEGylate proteins or nanoparticles, and cellular uptake, biocompatibility, or stability may be assessed. Dose-response experiments are performed to determine optimal concentrations for conjugation or degradation studies.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies using m-PEG12-Thiol are conducted as part of the evaluation of complete PROTAC molecules or PEGylated bioconjugates that incorporate this linker. Typical protocols involve administering PEGylated therapeutics or PROTAC constructs to animal models, followed by assessment of pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, or efficacy. The PEG12 spacer is expected to improve the pharmacokinetic profile by increasing hydrophilicity, reducing protein adsorption, and extending circulation time. Dosing regimens vary depending on the specific construct being evaluated and the disease model under study.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
As a linker rather than a therapeutic drug, comprehensive pharmacokinetic data for m-PEG12-Thiol alone are not available. However, the PEG12 moiety is known to enhance aqueous solubility, improve biocompatibility, and increase stability in biological environments. When incorporated into therapeutic molecules, PEGylation typically extends circulation half-life, reduces immunogenicity, and decreases renal clearance. The physicochemical properties include a molecular formula of C25H52O12S, molecular weight of 576.74, and a density of approximately 1.084 g/cm³. The compound appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of m-PEG12-Thiol as an individual compound is not extensively characterized, as it is primarily used as a research reagent and synthetic linker. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for therapeutic use in humans. PEG-based compounds are generally considered to have low toxicity and good biocompatibility, which is why PEGylation is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Standard laboratory safety practices, including the use of personal protective equipment and handling in a fume hood, are recommended.
