Product Description
Thalidomide-Propargyne-PEG2-COOH is a synthetic E3 ligase (e.g. CRBN) ligand-linker conjugate containing a Thalidomide-based cereblon ligand and a linker. Thalidomide-Propargyne-PEG2-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-PEG2-COOH is a thalidomide derivative with a propargyl group and a PEG2 spacer (two ethylene glycol units) terminating in a carboxylic acid, used as a clickable cereblon ligand for PROTAC synthesis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Cereblon
Cereblon (CRBN) as a ligand; the propargyl group allows click conjugation to azide-modified target binders; PEG2 provides a short hydrophilic spacer.
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 with moderate affinity (Kd ~10-20 uM). The propargyl group is stable and bioorthogonal. The PEG2 spacer (MW ~88, length ~0.9 nm) offers a balance between flexibility and minimal steric hindrance. The COOH group can be used for amide coupling. The compound alone induces weak degradation of Ikaros/Aiolos (DC50 ~20-50 uM). In PROTACs, it recruits cereblon to degrade neo-targets. Compared to PEG3 or PEG4, PEG2 provides a shorter linker that may be advantageous for certain target proteins.
Enzyme Assay
Cereblon binding is measured by TR-FRET. Thalidomide-propargyne-PEG2-COOH (0-500 uM) competes with a probe. IC50 ~10-30 uM. The PEG2 spacer slightly reduces binding affinity (2-3 fold) relative to thalidomide. Click chemistry efficiency is validated by reacting with an azide-containing fluorophore, monitored by LC-MS (typically 70-90% yield).
Cell Assay
Cells (e.g., MM.1S) are treated with the compound alone (1-100 uM). Ikaros/Aiolos degradation is assessed by Western blot (DC50 ~20-50 uM). For PROTAC testing, the compound is conjugated via CuAAC to an azide-tagged warhead. The PROTAC is purified and tested at 1-1000 nM for target degradation. The intermediate serves as a control for non-specific effects.
Animal Protocol
PROTACs derived from thalidomide-propargyne-PEG2-COOH are administered to xenograft mice (10-50 mg/kg, IV). The click reaction is performed before dosing. Tumor tissues are analyzed for target degradation by Western blot. PK parameters of the final PROTAC are characterized. The PEG2 linker may result in faster clearance compared to PEG3 due to lower hydrophilicity.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Molecular weight: approximately 460-510 g/mol. PEG2 chain (MW ~88) provides moderate water solubility. The propargyl group (C≡CH) is stable. The COOH group allows activation. The compound is stored at -20degC. Thalidomide glutarimide ring hydrolyzes with t1/2 ~1-2 h at pH 7.4. The PEG2 group does not stabilize the ring.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Thalidomide derivatives are teratogenic and potentially neurotoxic. Propargyl-PEG2-COOH does not reduce this risk. Acute toxicity: LD50 estimated 200-500 mg/kg. Extreme caution required: use fume hood, double gloves, and dedicated workspace. The compound is for research only, not for human therapy.

Additional Infomation
This PROTAC building block features a propargyl click-handle with a PEG2 spacer. The PEG2 length is shorter than PEG3 or PEG4, which may be optimal for targets where the ternary complex requires a compact linker. The propargyl group allows fast, chemoselective conjugation. This compound is part of a series of thalidomide-based clickable ligands used to generate PROTAC libraries. No clinical approval.
