Properties
Description
Mannose-PEG-valeric acid, alternatively called valeric acid-PEG-mannose, is a conjugate engineered by attaching mannose to valeric acid via a 20 kDa PEG linker, leveraging mannose's dendritic cell targeting, PEG's solubility, and valeric acid's reactivity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 20 kDa
Functional Group
Valeric acid
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-valeric acid can be used to engineer valeric acid prodrugs with bacterial enzyme-triggered activation.
