    A General Strategy for the Preparation of Thalidomide-Conjugate Linkers
    (2017-01) Papatzimas, James; Gorobets, Evgueni; Brownsey, Duncan; Maity, Ranjan; Bahlis, Nizar; Derksen, Darren
    The synthesis of small-molecule linkers for installation of thalidomide-based conjugates is described. Linker properties have been recognized as vital to conjugate success in drug discovery and delivery systems. These small-molecule tethers act as linkages between molecules, can also aid in cell permeability, and act as solubilizing agents. This work shows our progress in synthesizing conjugates with a variety of linker characteristics. The adaptability and manipulation of these and other linkers holds potential in improving synthetic control of chemical connectivities toward therapeutic development.
