Properties
Description
Methacrylate-PEG-mannose, also termed mannose-PEG-methacrylate, is a research-specific hybrid formed by modifying mannose with a 4 kDa PEG spacer and a methacrylate. This system combines mannose's lectin affinity, PEG's hydrophilicity, and methacrylate's reactivity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 4 kDa
Functional Group
Methacrylate
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-methacrylate can be used to study cholesterol effects on nanoparticle pharmacokinetics in zebrafish models.
