Azido-PEG6-azide CAS:1243536-56-2 is a bifunctional compound featuring azide groups at both ends of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer, specifically a six-unit PEG chain. Azide groups, characterized by their linear N3 structure, are highly reactive and engage in bioorthogonal reactions, such as click chemistry, to form covalent bonds with complementary functional groups like alkynes.
In pharmaceutical research and development, Azido-PEG6-azide serves as a versatile linker for bioconjugation, facilitating the targeted delivery of drugs and biomolecules. Its PEGylated structure enhances biocompatibility, solubility, and stability, while the azide groups enable site-specific coupling through click chemistry. Applications include antibody-drug conjugates, targeted drug delivery systems, and imaging agents, contributing to advances in therapeutics and diagnostics.
AxisPharm offers 5000+ PEG Linkers with high purity. Different kinds of PEG Reagents may be available by custom synthesis.
