Properties
Description
This research tool provides a highly pure (≥95%) PLGA derivative of lactosyl, connected by a 5 kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain for research on carbohydrate-targeted nanoparticles for drug and gene delivery.
Molecular Weight
PEG 5 kDa
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 5 kDa PEG spacer can be employed to develop carbohydrate-targeted nanoparticles for the delivery of nucleic acids or proteins to specific cell populations.
