Azidoethyl-SS-propionic acid Usage And Synthesis

Description

Azidoethyl-SS-propionic acid is a Click Chemistry-ready crosslinker. The azide group enables Click Chemistry. The terminal carboxylic acid can be reacted with primary amine groups in the presence of activators (e.g. EDC, or HATU) to form a stable amide bond. The disulfide bond can be cleaved by Dithiothreitol (DTT) reagent

Uses

Azidoethyl-SS-propionic acid is a cleavable ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)[1]. Azidoethyl-SS-propionic acid 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.
