Product Description
Thalidomide-Propargyne-PEG1-COOH is a synthetic E3 ligase (e.g. CRBN) ligand-linker conjugate containing a Thalidomide-based cereblon ligand and a linker. Thalidomide-Propargyne-PEG1-COOH is a reagent for click chemistry. It contains Alkyne groups and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing an Azide group.
Thalidomide-Propargyne-PEG1-COOH is a thalidomide derivative containing a propargyl group and a PEG1 spacer terminating in a carboxylic acid, designed for click chemistry-based PROTAC synthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cereblon
Cereblon (CRBN) as a ligand; the propargyl group enables copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) for conjugation.
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[2].
Thalidomide binds cereblon (Kd ~10-20 uM). The propargyl (terminal alkyne) group allows efficient conjugation to azide-functionalized target ligands via click chemistry. The PEG1 spacer (single ethylene glycol unit) provides a minimal hydrophilic linker. The COOH group offers an alternative conjugation handle (amide coupling). The compound alone induces weak degradation of Ikaros/Aiolos. The propargyl group is stable and bioorthogonal.
Enzyme Assay
Cereblon binding is measured by TR-FRET. Thalidomide-propargyne-PEG1-COOH (0-500 uM) competes with a probe. IC50 ~10-30 uM. The propargyl-PEG1-COOH group reduces affinity by 2-5 fold but remains useful. The compound can also be tested in a click chemistry reaction with an azide-containing molecule to confirm conjugation efficiency by LC-MS.
Cell Assay
Cells (e.g., MM.1S) are treated with the compound alone (1-100 uM) to assess background Ikaros degradation (DC50 ~20-50 uM). For PROTAC generation, the compound is first conjugated to an azide-tagged warhead via CuAAC. The resulting PROTAC is tested at 1-1000 nM for target degradation by Western blot. The intermediate serves as a clickable handle.
Animal Protocol
PROTACs assembled via click chemistry using this building block are administered to xenograft mice (10-50 mg/kg, IV). The click reaction is performed in vitro before dosing. In vivo efficacy is evaluated by tumor growth inhibition and target degradation. The intermediate alone is not dosed. PK depends on the final conjugate.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Molecular weight: approximately 400-450 g/mol. Propargyl group (C≡CH) has MW ~25. PEG1 (MW ~44) plus COOH. The compound is soluble in DMSO and partially in water. The alkyne is stable at -20degC. The thalidomide glutarimide ring hydrolyzes in aqueous medium (t1/2 ~1-2 h). The propargyl group can participate in click reactions at room temperature.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Thalidomide derivatives are teratogenic and neurotoxic. Propargyl group is flammable but not highly toxic. The compound requires extreme care due to thalidomide core. Acute toxicity: LD50 estimated 200-500 mg/kg. Use fume hood, double gloves, and dedicated equipment. Not for human use. The compound is for research only.

Additional Infomation
This PROTAC building block features a propargyl group for click chemistry, offering an orthogonal conjugation method compared to traditional amide coupling. The PEG1 spacer provides minimal separation between thalidomide and the alkyne. The COOH group allows conventional conjugation as an alternative. Click chemistry is advantageous for modular assembly of PROTAC libraries. This compound is used in research to expedite PROTAC synthesis. No clinical approval.
