3-(m-PEG12-ethoxycarbonyl)propanoic acid
This product is a PEG12-based linker with a terminal methoxy group on one end and a carboxylic acid on the other, connected through an ethoxycarbonyl-propanoic backbone. The PEG12 spacer imparts excellent hydrophilicity, flexibility, and long spacing, making this compound especially suitable for bioconjugation, drug delivery, and surface engineering.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
Carboxylic Acid Group: Couples efficiently with amines for stable amide bond formation.
-
Methoxy-Terminated PEG Chain: Provides non-reactive end capping, enhancing stability and solubility.
-
PEG12 Spacer: Ensures long hydrophilic spacing, steric accessibility, and reduced aggregation.
-
High Purity: Delivers reproducibility in sensitive conjugation workflows.
-
Versatile Design: Useful for biomolecule modification and material functionalization.
Applications:
-
Bioconjugation: Introduces PEG spacing in protein, peptide, or small-molecule conjugates.
-
Drug Delivery: PEGylated linker improves solubility, stability, and circulation time.
-
Surface Functionalization: Functionalizes nanoparticles, polymers, and hydrogels.
-
Material Science: Useful in scaffold design and biomaterial engineering.
Storage and Handling:
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C, protected from moisture and light.
-
Handling: Use anhydrous solvents (e.g., DMF, DMSO) to maintain acid stability.
