Properties
Description
Designed for scientific investigations, this reagent features DTPA conjugated to lactosyl via a 2 kDa PEG chain, ensuring high purity (≥95%) for consistent studies on metal-chelating carbohydrate conjugates.
Molecular Weight
PEG 2 kDa
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
Lactosyl-PEG-DTPA 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
Lactosyl-PEG-DTPA with a 2 kDa PEG spacer can be employed to develop MRI contrast agents with prolonged circulation times due to the PEGylation, while still enabling carbohydrate-specific targeting.
