Key considerations for linker motifs described

Structure Linker type Key points
graphic file with name etat-01-100218-i08.jpg Alkyl/PEG - High synthetic accessibility and commercial availability
- Enable fine-tuning of linker length
- Flexible
graphic file with name etat-01-100218-i09.jpg Rigidifying groups - Potential potency improvements
- More favourable physical properties
- Conformational restriction
graphic file with name etat-01-100218-i10.jpg Clickable groups - Facilitates library synthesis
- High-yielding synthesis
- Potential H-bond interactions in the TC
graphic file with name etat-01-100218-i11.jpg CLIPTACs - Assembled from lower MW precursors
- More favourable physical properties
- Compounds must be administered separately to avoid clicking
graphic file with name etat-01-100218-i12.jpg Photoswitches - High spatiotemporal control
- May alleviate toxicity
- Continuous irradiation may be required if photostates are not bistable
