This compound is widely used in bioorthogonal chemistry due to its DBCO (dibenzocyclooctyne) group, which enables rapid and selective reactions with azide-containing molecules without the need for catalysts. The SS (disulfide) linker provides a cleavable bond, making it suitable for applications where controlled release of a payload is required, such as in drug delivery systems. The COOH (carboxyl) group allows for further conjugation with amines or other functional groups, facilitating its use in the development of targeted therapeutics, bioconjugation, and labeling of biomolecules. It is particularly valuable in click chemistry reactions for studying biological processes or designing advanced materials.
