Propargyl-PEG4-Br is a versatile ADC linker intermediate widely employed in the design and construction of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and targeted bioconjugation studies. Featuring a hydrophilic PEG4 spacer, a terminal propargyl group, and a bromide functionality, it enables efficient and site-specific conjugation with ADC cytotoxins and monoclonal antibodies. The PEG4 chain enhances solubility and reduces steric hindrance, while the bromide serves as a reactive site for nucleophilic substitution or click chemistry, supporting flexible ADC linker design. In ADC linker applications, Propargyl-PEG4-Br maintains antibody integrity and facilitates controlled intracellular payload delivery.

In payload conjugation applications, Propargyl-PEG4-Br is compatible with a broad range of ADC cytotoxins, including microtubule inhibitors, DNA-targeting agents, and other potent therapeutic payloads. Its PEG4 spacer improves aqueous solubility and flexibility, allowing homogeneous and stable ADC construction. The terminal propargyl group enables modular click chemistry, while the bromide functionality provides additional conjugation versatility for secondary payload attachment. Researchers can leverage this linker intermediate to optimize linker length, improve payload release, and construct high-performance ADCs suitable for both preclinical research and scalable industrial production.

From an application perspective, Propargyl-PEG4-Br is extensively used in oncology-focused ADC research, targeted drug delivery systems, and protein bioconjugation studies. Its hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances circulation time and reduces aggregation of ADC payloads, while the combination of bromide and propargyl groups ensures efficient, site-specific, and flexible conjugation strategies. By integrating Propargyl-PEG4-Br into ADC linker design, developers can construct stable, flexible, and highly soluble linker-payload conjugates, supporting tumor-specific delivery and optimized pharmacokinetics in modern ADC development.
