Used extensively in bioconjugation chemistry, this compound serves as a crosslinking agent to attach proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules to various surfaces or carriers. It is particularly valuable in the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), where it facilitates the stable linkage between antibodies and cytotoxic drugs, enhancing targeted cancer therapies. Additionally, it is employed in the modification of biomolecules for diagnostic assays, enabling the detection of specific proteins or biomarkers. Its ability to form reversible disulfide bonds makes it suitable for applications requiring controlled release or reversible binding in drug delivery systems.
