Properties
Description
Also termed mannose-PEG-pyridine (pyridine-PEG-mannose), this research compound is synthesized by coupling mannose with pyridine through a 1 kDa PEG linker, combining mannose's dendritic cell binding, PEG's solubility, and pyridine's reactivity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 1 kDa
Functional Group
Pyridine
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-pyridine can be used to engineer short-chain PEG-valeric acid conjugates for colonic drug delivery.
