Maleimido-PEG4-Val-Ala-PAB CAS:2417003-93-9 is a small molecule linker that is often used in the field of bioconjugation and drug delivery. It consists of several functional groups, including a maleimide group, a PEG (polyethylene glycol) chain, a valine-alanine dipeptide, and a p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PAB) protecting group.
Maleimido-PEG4-Val-Ala-PAB is commonly used as a bifunctional linker that can attach two molecules together through the maleimide group. The PEG chain improves the solubility and biocompatibility of the compound, while the dipeptide and PAB groups can be used to target specific cells or tissues.
This linker is often used in the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which are a type of targeted drug delivery system that consists of an antibody linked to a cytotoxic drug. Maleimido-PEG4-Val-Ala-PAB can be used to attach the antibody to the drug, enabling selective targeting of cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells.
Maleimido-PEG4-Val-Ala-PAB is a valuable tool in the field of bioconjugation and drug delivery, enabling the development of more effective and less toxic treatments for various diseases.
