PROTAC Linkers.

| ln Vitro |
As a linker molecule, 4-Azidobutylamine 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 azide group is a bioorthogonal handle that reacts with alkyne groups under click chemistry conditions (CuAAc) to form a stable triazole linkage. This reaction is highly specific and can be performed under mild conditions. The primary amine can be conjugated to a carboxylic acid-containing ligand via amide bond formation using EDC/NHS. The C4 alkyl spacer provides a short, flexible, hydrophobic connection between the conjugated ligands. The orthogonal functional groups (azide and amine) enable stepwise conjugation to two different ligands.
|
| 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 ≥98%. The azide group can be characterized by its characteristic IR absorption at around 2100 cm-1. The primary amine can be characterized by its characteristic chemical shift in NMR spectroscopy (e.g., a broad singlet around 1-2 ppm). The IUPAC name is 4-azidobutan-1-amine.
|
| 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 azide group is reacted with an alkyne-containing ligand via CuAAc using CuSO4 and sodium ascorbate as catalyst in a THF/water mixture. The primary amine is reacted with a carboxylic acid-containing ligand using EDC and NHS to form an amide bond. The resulting PROTAC is then tested in cells for target degradation activity. The short C4 alkyl spacer may be optimal for target-E3 ligase pairs that require a short, hydrophobic linker.
|
| 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 short C4 alkyl spacer may affect the lipophilicity and cellular permeability of the final PROTAC.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
This compound has a molecular weight of 114.15, a molecular formula of C4H10N4, and a standard purity of ≥98%. The IUPAC name is 4-azidobutan-1-amine. It appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid. For storage, it should be kept as a liquid at -20degC for up to 3 years, sealed, away from moisture. It is soluble in DMSO (≥250 mg/mL) and other organic solvents. The product should be stored in a sealed container, protected from light. The azide group should be handled with care as it can be potentially explosive, especially in concentrated form or when exposed to heat or shock. CAS: 88192-20-5.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
This product is for research use only and is not for human or veterinary use. Standard chemical safety precautions should be observed during handling. The azide group should be handled with care to avoid premature reactions and potential explosion hazards. The primary amine is reactive and should be stored away from acids and oxidizing agents. It is not an approved therapeutic drug and has not been cleared for clinical use. PROTAC is a registered trademark of Arvinas Operations, Inc., and is used under license.

| Additional Infomation |
4-Azidobutylamine is a simple, short, heterobifunctional alkyl linker that combines a click chemistry handle (azide) with a primary amine for amide coupling. The C4 alkyl chain provides a short, flexible, hydrophobic spacer that can be beneficial for PROTACs targeting intracellular proteins where a certain degree of lipophilicity is required for cellular permeability. This linker is also widely used in bioconjugation, surface functionalization, and the synthesis of photoaffinity probes. The azide group enables CuAAc click chemistry with alkyne-functionalized ligands, providing a versatile and efficient conjugation strategy.
