What is Bromo-PEG2-acid?

Description

Bromo-PEG2-acid is a PEG linker containing a bromide group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. The bromide (Br) is a very good leaving group for nucleophilic substitution reactions. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or HATU) to form a stable amide bond.

The Uses of Bromo-PEG2-acid

Bromo-PEG₂-acid is a heterobifunctional, PEGylated crosslinker featuring a bromo group at one end and a carboxyl group at the other. The hydrophillic PEG linker facilitates solubility in biological applications. Bromo-PEG₂-acid can be used for bioconjugation or as a building block for synthesis of small molecules, conjugates of small molecules and/or biomolecules, or other tool compounds for chemical biology and medicinal chemistry that require ligation. Examples of applications include its synthetic incorporation into antibody-drug conjugates or proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTAC^? molecules) for targeted protein degradation.
