Product Description
Pomalidomide-PEG2-COOH (Pomalidomide 4'-PEG2-acid) is a synthetic E3 ligase (e.g. CRBN) ligand-linker conjugate that contains a Pomalidomide-based cereblon ligand and linker. Pomalidomide-PEG2-COOH may be utilized in PROTAC synthesis.
Pomalidomide-PEG2-COOH (also known as Pomalidomide 4'-PEG2-acid) is a synthesized E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate that incorporates a Pomalidomide-based cereblon (CRBN) ligand and a 2-unit PEG linker (PEG2) terminating in a carboxylic acid (COOH) group. This conjugate is used in PROTAC technology to recruit the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for targeted protein degradation. The PEG2 linker provides a short, hydrophilic, and flexible spacer that reduces steric hindrance and improves water solubility. The terminal carboxylic acid can be conjugated to a target protein ligand via amide bond formation using standard coupling reagents (e.g., EDC/NHS). This conjugate is widely used in targeted protein degradation research and drug discovery applications. The molecular formula is C20H23N3O8, and the molecular weight is approximately 433.41. 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.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
CRBN (cereblon), an E3 ubiquitin ligase.
ln Vitro
The E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand and the target protein ligand are the two distinct ligands found in PROTAC, which are joined by a linker. Specifically, target proteins are degraded by PROTAC through the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system [1].
As a cereblon-binding ligand-linker conjugate, Pomalidomide-PEG2-COOH itself has no intrinsic biological activity; its function is to recruit the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The terminal carboxylic acid is conjugated to a target protein ligand via amide bond formation using standard coupling reagents (e.g., EDC, HATU). 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 PEG2 linker provides a short, hydrophilic, and flexible connection, which can be optimal for target-E3 ligase pairs where a minimal spacer is required. The 2-unit PEG linker enhances water solubility compared to a purely alkyl linker of similar length, improving the aqueous solubility of the final PROTAC.
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 PEG2 linker can be characterized by mass spectrometry. The IUPAC name is 3-(2-(2-((2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-4-yl)amino)ethoxy)ethoxy)propanoic acid.
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 carboxylic acid is activated with EDC and NHS and reacted with a primary amine-containing target protein ligand. 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 short PEG2 linker may be critical for achieving degradation activity for certain target proteins where longer linkers reduce potency.
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 PEG2 spacer may improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the conjugate by enhancing water solubility.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
This compound has a molecular weight of approximately 433.41, a molecular formula of C20H23N3O8, and a standard purity of ≥95-98%. The IUPAC name is 3-(2-(2-((2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-4-yl)amino)ethoxy)ethoxy)propanoic acid. For storage, it should be kept as a solid at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed, away from moisture. It is soluble in DMSO. The product should be stored in a sealed container under an inert atmosphere. CAS: 2140807-17-4.
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. Pomalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) clinically used for multiple myeloma; this derivative is for research purposes only.

Additional Infomation
The 2-unit PEG linker (PEG2) provides a short, hydrophilic spacer that is often optimal for target-E3 ligase pairs that require a minimal spacer for ternary complex formation. The PEG2 linker enhances water solubility compared to an alkyl linker of similar length, improving the aqueous solubility of the final PROTAC and reducing aggregation. This conjugate is a valuable building block for developing cereblon-recruiting PROTACs with minimal linker lengths. The terminal carboxylic acid enables direct conjugation to target protein ligands via standard amide coupling. This compound is also known as Pomalidomide 4'-PEG2-acid and is widely used in targeted protein degradation research.
