Azido-PEG1-Val-Cit-PAB-PNP
This product is a high-purity cleavable linker combining an azide group for copper-free click chemistry, a PEG1 spacer for enhanced solubility, and a valine–citrulline–p-aminobenzyl (Val-Cit-PAB) dipeptide moiety for enzyme-triggered release. The para-nitrophenyl (PNP) carbonate serves as an activated ester for nucleophilic substitution with amines or hydroxyl groups.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Azide Group: Enables SPAAC or CuAAC bioconjugation.
-
PEG1 Spacer: Improves water solubility and flexibility.
-
Val-Cit-PAB Cleavable Linker: Stable in circulation; cleaved by cathepsin B in lysosomes.
-
PNP Carbonate: Efficient leaving group for amine or alcohol coupling.
-
High Purity: Ensures reproducible results in sensitive applications.
Applications
-
Antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) payload attachment.
-
Prodrug synthesis with controlled release.
-
Bioconjugation requiring cleavable linkers.
-
Targeted drug delivery research.
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C, dry, and protected from light.
-
Handling: Use anhydrous solvents such as DMF or DMSO; minimize exposure to moisture.
