Azido-PEG8-NHS ester

Azido-PEG8-NHS ester is a cleavable 8 unit PEG ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) [1]. Azido-PEG8-NHS ester is also a PEG- and Alkyl/ether-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[2]. Azido-PEG8-NHS ester is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
