m-PEG6-SS-PEG6-methyl CAS:1007386-15-3 is a molecule that consists of two polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains separated by a disulfide bond (-SS-), with a methyl group (-CH3) at one end of the molecule. PEG is a hydrophilic polymer that is often used in pharmaceuticals as a solubilizing agent, while the disulfide bond is a redox-active group that is sensitive to changes in the cellular environment.
The presence of the disulfide bond in m-PEG6-SS-PEG6-methyl makes it useful for drug delivery applications, as the bond can be cleaved under reducing conditions that are found in certain cellular environments. This allows the molecule to release its payload (such as a drug or imaging agent) specifically at the target site, reducing off-target effects and improving therapeutic efficacy.
