SULFAMIDE LINKER, CONJUGATES THEREOF, AND METHODS OF PREPARATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a compound comprising an alpha-end and an omega-end, the compound comprising on the alpha-end a reactive group Qlcapable of reacting with a functional group F1present on a biomolecule and on the omega-end a target molecule, the compound further comprising a group according to formula (1) or a salt thereof: Said compound may also be referred to as a linker-conjugate. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a bioconjugate, the process comprising the step of reacting a reactive group Q1of a linker-conjugate according to the invention with a functional group F1of a biomolecule. The invention further relates to a bioconjugate obtainable by the process according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, the invention concerns a process for the preparation of a bioconjugate via a cycloaddition, such as a (4+2)-cycloaddition (e.g. a Diels-Alder reaction) or a (3+2)-cycloaddition (e.g. a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition).
