Properties
Description
Methacrylate-PEG-mannose, or mannose-PEG-methacrylate, is a research-driven conjugate where mannose is functionalized with a 750 Da PEG linker and a methacrylate. This assembly benefits from mannose's dendritic cell binding, PEG's hydrophilicity, and methacrylate's reactivity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 750 Da
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 engineer pH-triggered nanoparticle disassembly through carboxylate repulsion.
