Properties
Description
This high-purity (≥95%) reagent features poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), a biodegradable polymer, conjugated to lactosyl via a 350 Da polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer for targeted drug delivery systems.
Molecular Weight
PEG 350 Da
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
PLGA-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
PLGA conjugated to lactosyl with a 350 Da PEG spacer can be used to fabricate small, rapidly degrading nanoparticles with carbohydrate targeting for short-term drug delivery studies.
