Capabilities & Facilities
Propargyl-PEG5-t-butyl ester is a specialized ADC linker intermediate widely used in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) construction and targeted bioconjugation research. As an ADC linker building block, it combines a hydrophilic PEG5 spacer with a reactive terminal propargyl group and a t-butyl ester, enabling efficient conjugation through click chemistry or amide bond formation. The PEG5 spacer enhances solubility and flexibility, reduces steric hindrance, and improves pharmacokinetic properties of ADC payloads. In ADC linker design, Propargyl-PEG5-t-butyl ester allows site-specific conjugation while maintaining antibody integrity, supporting precise delivery of cytotoxic payloads to tumor cells.
Propargyl-PEG5-t-butyl ester is compatible with a wide range of ADC cytotoxins, including microtubule inhibitors, DNA-targeting agents, and other potent therapeutic payloads. Its PEG5 chain enhances linker flexibility and aqueous solubility, while the terminal propargyl group enables modular click chemistry conjugation under mild conditions, ensuring predictable and reproducible attachment of payloads. The t-butyl ester functionality provides a protective group that can be selectively removed to facilitate subsequent reactions. Researchers can use this intermediate to optimize linker length, improve intracellular payload release, and construct homogeneous, high-performance ADCs suitable for both preclinical studies and industrial-scale production.
From an application perspective, Propargyl-PEG5-t-butyl ester is widely applied in oncology-focused ADC research, targeted drug delivery studies, and protein bioconjugation experiments. Its hydrophilic PEG chain reduces aggregation and enhances circulation time of ADC payloads, while the terminal alkyne group supports efficient site-specific conjugation. By integrating Propargyl-PEG5-t-butyl ester into ADC linker design, developers can achieve flexible, stable, and highly soluble linker-payload constructs, facilitating tumor-specific delivery and enhanced pharmacokinetic performance in modern ADC development and therapeutic applications.
