N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-trans-4-hydroxy-D-proline is a non-cleavable?ADC linker?used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-trans-4-hydroxy-D-proline is also a alkyl chain-based PROTAC linker?that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[2].In Vitro: ADCs are comprised of an antibody to which is attached an ADC cytotoxin through an ADC linker.
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].
