Structure | Linker type | Key points |
---|---|---|
Alkyl/PEG | - High synthetic accessibility and commercial availability - Enable fine-tuning of linker length - Flexible |
|
Rigidifying groups | - Potential potency improvements - More favourable physical properties - Conformational restriction |
|
Clickable groups | - Facilitates library synthesis - High-yielding synthesis - Potential H-bond interactions in the TC |
|
CLIPTACs | - Assembled from lower MW precursors - More favourable physical properties - Compounds must be administered separately to avoid clicking |
|
Photoswitches | - High spatiotemporal control - May alleviate toxicity - Continuous irradiation may be required if photostates are not bistable |
