Amino-Tri-(carboxyethoxymethyl)-methane hydrochloride

Amino-Tri-(carboxyethoxymethyl)-methane hydrochloride is a cleavable PEG ADC linker used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Amino-Tri-(carboxyethoxymethyl)-methan hydrochloride is also a PEG-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[1][2].

ADCs are comprised of an antibody to which is attached an ADC cytotoxin through an ADC linker[1]. PROTACs contain two different ligands connected by a linker; one is a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other is for the target protein. PROTACs exploit the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins[2].
