Properties
Description
This research tool provides a highly pure (≥95%) tretinoin derivative of lactosyl, connected by a 5 kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain for research on carbohydrate-targeted retinoid delivery systems.
Molecular Weight
PEG 5 kDa
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Tretinoin
Solubility
Tretinoin-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
Tretinoin conjugated to lactosyl with a 5 kDa PEG spacer can be employed to explore the potential of these conjugates for topical applications targeting carbohydrate receptors in skin models or cell layers.
