Azido-dPEG®4-acid, product number QBD-10502, is a click chemistry crosslinking reagent. The azide moiety on one end of the molecule is useful for copper(I)- or ruthenium-catalyzed click chemistry or copper-free click chemistry. Between the azide moiety and the propanoic acid moiety on the other end of the molecule is a single molecular weight, discrete polyethylene glycol (dPEG®) spacer. The propanoic acid moiety can be coupled to a primary or secondary amine by an acylation reaction. The azide also functions as a masked amine. In this application, the carboxylic acid end reacts first with an amine to form a peptide bond, followed by reduction of the azide to an amine for further reaction.
Activation of the propanoic acid moiety with an acylating agent enables conjugation of azido-dPEG®4-acid to a primary or secondary amine. Popular acylating agents include such as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS); 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenol (TFP); or 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenol (PFP). Alternatively, 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) or another suitable carbodiimide can be used to couple the acid moiety directly to an amine without prior activation.

| Storage and handling | -20°C; Always let come to room temperature before opening; be careful to limit exposure to moisture and restore under an inert atmosphere; stock solutions can be prepared with dry solvent and kept for several days (freeze when not in use). dPEG® pegylation compounds are generally hygroscopic and should be treated as such. This will be less noticeable with liquids, but the solids will become tacky and difficult to manipulate, if care is not taken to minimize air exposure. |
