Properties
Description
This research tool provides a highly pure (≥95%) DOPE derivative of lactosyl, connected by a 5 kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain for research on unsaturated lipid carriers with carbohydrate targeting capabilities.
Molecular Weight
PEG 5 kDa
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
DOPE-PEG-lactosyl is soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, and DMSO, and shows excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
DOPE conjugated to lactosyl with a 5 kDa PEG spacer can be employed to develop liposomes with enhanced stealth properties and specific binding to carbohydrate receptors for in vitro targeting studies.
