Description
DBCO-Acid is a non-activated building block and adds minimal spacer to modified molecules. In the presence of activators such as EDC or HATU, this reagent can be used to derivatize amine-containing molecules through a stable amide bond. DBCO is commonly used for copper-free Click Chemistry reactions.
Uses
DBCO-Acid is a reactant in the synthesis of high-generation polyester dendrimers. Also used in the preparation of modular, plasmin sensitive, clickable poly(ethylene glycol)-heparin-laminin microsphere systems for creating growth factor gradients in peripheral nerve regeneration.
Application
DBCO-acid (11,12-Didehydro-gamma-oxodibenz[b,f]azocine-5(6H)-butanoic acid) is a cleavable antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) linker used in the synthesis of ADC linkers DBCO-NHS ester (HY-115524 and HY-115545) and drug-linker conjugates DBCO-PEG-MMAE (HY-111012 and HY-126690). DBCO-acid is also a click chemistry reagent that contains a DBCO group in its structure and can undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) with molecules containing an azide group.
General Description
Acid functionalized cyclooctyne derivative. Cyclooctynes are useful in strain-promoted copper-free azide-alkyne click chemistry reactions. This azadibenzocyclooctyne will react with azide functionalized compounds or biomolecules without the need for a Cu(I) catalyst to result in a stable triazole linkage.
