Properties
Description
Also termed mannose-PEG-linoleic acid (linoleic acid-PEG-mannose), this research compound is synthesized by coupling mannose with linoleic acid through a 1 kDa PEG linker, combining mannose's dendritic cell binding, PEG's hydrophilicity, and linoleic acid's reactivity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 1 kDa
Functional Group
Linoleic 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-linoleic acid can be used to optimize glycyrrhetinic acid loading in hepatocyte-specific liposomes.
