Properties
Description
Carboxylic acid-PEG-mannose, synonymous with mannose-PEG-COOH, is a research-driven molecule made by grafting mannose to a 2 kDa PEG chain and a carboxylic acid. This design utilizes mannose's lectin interaction, PEG's hydrophilicity, and carboxylic acid's reactivity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 2 kDa
Functional Group
Carboxylic acid
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Applications
Mannose-PEG-COOH can be used to engineer charge-switching drug carriers through carboxylate protonation.
