Capabilities & Facilities
Tetrazine-PEG6-amine hydrochloride is a highly versatile ADC linker intermediate designed for advanced antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) construction and targeted bioconjugation. Featuring a tetrazine reactive group, a PEG6 spacer, and a terminal amine hydrochloride, this linker enables rapid and selective bioorthogonal inverse-electron-demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) reactions for site-specific attachment of ADC cytotoxins. The PEG6 spacer provides enhanced solubility, flexibility, and reduces steric hindrance during conjugation. In ADC linker design, Tetrazine-PEG6-amine hydrochloride preserves antibody integrity while facilitating modular payload attachment, supporting efficient intracellular delivery and improved pharmacokinetic behavior.
In payload conjugation applications, Tetrazine-PEG6-amine hydrochloride is compatible with a wide range of ADC cytotoxins, including microtubule inhibitors, DNA-interacting agents, and other potent therapeutic payloads. The tetrazine group reacts selectively with trans-cyclooctene (TCO)-functionalized payloads under mild conditions, enabling fast, site-specific conjugation with high yield. The PEG6 spacer enhances solubility and reduces aggregation, while the terminal amine allows additional chemical modifications or secondary conjugation strategies. Researchers can use this linker to construct homogeneous, stable ADCs with predictable intracellular payload release and optimized therapeutic profiles.
From an application perspective, Tetrazine-PEG6-amine hydrochloride is widely applied in oncology-focused ADC research, protein bioconjugation studies, and modular drug delivery system development. Its combination of tetrazine reactivity, hydrophilic PEG6 spacer, and terminal amine functionality ensures efficient, site-specific conjugation while preserving antibody function. Employing this linker in ADC designs allows the creation of high-performance, customizable linker-payload conjugates capable of precise tumor targeting and controlled payload release within complex cellular environments.
