Product Description
Boc-NH-C4-Br is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker of the alkyl chain category, may be utilized to prepare PROTAC protein degraders.
Boc-NH-C4-Br (CAS 164365-88-2) is an alkyl chain-based PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs. The compound, also known as tert-butyl (4-bromobutyl)carbamate, features a butyl chain with a bromine atom at one end and a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protected amino group at the other end. The alkyl chain provides a hydrophobic spacer, while the bromine terminus serves as a reactive handle for nucleophilic substitution reactions, and the Boc-protected amine allows for selective deprotection and subsequent conjugation. This linker is designed for use in PROTAC technology, facilitating the connection between E3 ubiquitin ligase ligands and target protein ligands.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As an alkyl chain-based PROTAC linker, Boc-NH-C4-Br does not have a specific biological target itself but serves as a structural component in PROTAC molecules. The alkyl chain linker 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.
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].
Boc-NH-C4-Br functions as a linker component in in vitro PROTAC synthesis. The butyl chain provides appropriate length and hydrophobicity for the formation of the ternary complex between the target protein, PROTAC, and E3 ligase. The bromine terminus allows for nucleophilic substitution reactions with various nucleophilic groups (e.g., thiols, amines) on target ligands. The Boc-protected amine can be selectively deprotected under acidic conditions to reveal a free amine for further conjugation. In vitro studies typically involve conjugation of this linker to various ligands to evaluate its effectiveness in facilitating protein degradation.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for Boc-NH-C4-Br as a standalone compound are not reported, as it is utilized as a synthetic linker rather than as a therapeutic agent. The in vivo efficacy of PROTAC molecules incorporating this alkyl linker would depend on the specific target protein ligand and the overall pharmacokinetic properties of the complete PROTAC construct. As a hydrophobic alkyl-based linker, it may contribute to the overall lipophilicity and membrane permeability of the complete PROTAC molecule.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Boc-NH-C4-Br typically involve conjugation studies rather than direct binding measurements. The bromine terminus can be used to conjugate the linker to various nucleophilic groups, and binding efficiency can be assessed by measuring the degree of conjugation using techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, or HPLC. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) may be employed to evaluate the binding of PROTAC molecules containing this linker to their targets. The Boc protecting group allows for selective deprotection and stepwise conjugation strategies.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays using Boc-NH-C4-Br typically involve its incorporation into PROTAC molecules, followed by evaluation in cell culture systems. Cells are treated with PROTACs containing this alkyl linker, and target protein degradation is measured by Western blotting or immunofluorescence. Dose-response experiments are performed to determine optimal concentrations for degradation studies. The alkyl linker provides appropriate hydrophobicity for cell membrane penetration.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies using Boc-NH-C4-Br are conducted as part of the evaluation of complete PROTAC molecules that incorporate this alkyl linker. Typical protocols involve administering PROTAC constructs to animal models, followed by assessment of pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, or efficacy. The alkyl linker may influence the pharmacokinetic profile by modulating lipophilicity and membrane permeability. 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 Boc-NH-C4-Br alone are not available. The physicochemical properties include a molecular formula of C9H18BrNO2, molecular weight of 252.15, and a LogP of 2.78, indicating moderate lipophilicity. The compound appears as a white to off-white powder below 30°C and as a liquid above 32°C. It is soluble in DMSO at approximately 100 mg/mL (~396.59 mM). The compound should be stored at -20°C as a powder for up to 3 years or at 4°C for up to 2 years.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of Boc-NH-C4-Br 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. Standard laboratory safety practices, including the use of personal protective equipment and handling in a fume hood, are recommended.
