Fmoc-8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid

Fmoc-NH-PEG2-CH2COOH is a PEG linker containing an Fmoc-protected amine and a terminal carboxylic acid. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. The Fmoc group can be deprotected under basic condition to obtain the free amine which can be used for further conjugations. 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.

8-(Fmoc-amino)-3,6-dioxaoctanoic Acid is a hydrophilic, heterobifunctional spacer.

Hydrophillic spacer group.

Fmoc-8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid is a cleavable ADC linker for the synthesis of antibody-drug couplings (ADCs). It is also a PEG linker for the synthesis of PROTAC. It is widely used in drug delivery systems as it is mainly used to enhance the solubility or targeting of drugs and improve their bioavailability.
