Properties
Description
This high-purity (≥95%) reagent features polyethylenimine (PEI), a cationic polymer for gene delivery, conjugated to lactosyl via a 350 Da polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer for targeted gene transfection.
Molecular Weight
PEG 350 Da
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
PEI-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
PEI (polyethylenimine) conjugated to lactosyl with a 350 Da PEG spacer can be used to study the initial interactions of low molecular weight, carbohydrate-targeted PEI with cell membranes for gene delivery.
