Hydroxy-PEG2-Acid Sodium Salt CAS: 1334286-77-9 is a multifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative designed to facilitate cutting-edge applications in pharmaceutical research and development. This compound features two distinct functional groups: a hydroxy group (-OH) at one end and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) at the other. The acid group is present as a sodium salt, increasing solubility and handling convenience.
The hydroxy group is a versatile functional group that can be easily modified, enabling the attachment of various biomolecules, drugs, or targeting ligands. The carboxylic acid group allows for straightforward conjugation to amine-containing molecules through amide bond formation, a common strategy in bioconjugation and drug synthesis.
With a short PEG2 spacer, Hydroxy-PEG2-Acid Sodium Salt offers improved solubility, biocompatibility, and reduced immunogenicity, essential properties for the design of advanced drug delivery systems, bioconjugates, and prodrugs. Its ability to link different functional molecules facilitates the development of targeted therapeutics and diagnostics, resulting in more effective treatments with fewer side effects.
