SPDP (SPDP Crosslinker) is a short-chain crosslinker that reacts with NHS ester groups and pyridyl disulfide reactive groups with cysteine thiols to form a cleavable (reducible) disulfide bond, thereby facilitating the coupling of amine and thiol groups. When SPDP reacts with free thiols, it releases a detectable byproduct—2-mercaptopyridine—allowing for easy tracking of the reaction by measuring the release of 2-mercaptopyridine at 343 nm. SPDP can be used for the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates. The SPDP crosslinker is membrane-permeable and can crosslink within cells [1-6].

SPDP (SPDP Crosslinker)是一种短链交联剂,通过NHS酯基团与吡啶二硫反应基团和半胱氨酸硫醇反应,形成可切割(可还原)的二硫键,从而促进胺和硫醇基团的偶联。当SPDP与游离巯基反应时,能够释放出可检测的副产物—2-巯基吡啶,通过在343nm处测量2-巯基吡啶的释放量可以很容易地跟踪该反应。SPDP可用于合成抗体-药物偶联物。SPDP交联剂具有膜渗透性,可在细胞内交联[1-6]。
