biological activity | Azido-PEG8-NHS ester is a degradable (cleavable) 8-unit PEG-containing ADC linker that can be used to synthesize antibody-coupled drugs (ADC). Azido-PEG8-NHS ester is also a PROTAC linker, belonging to the PEG and Alkyl/ether classes, which can be used to synthesize PROTAC molecules. |

in vitro study | ADCs are comprised of an antibody to which is attached an ADC cytotoxin through an ADC linker. PROTACs contain two different ligands connected by a linker; one is a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other is for the target protein. PROTACs exploit the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins. |
