Acrylate-PEG-Maleimide (ACRL-PEG-MAL), MW 2K is a linear heterobifunctional PEG derivative, which contains maleimide at one end of PEG and acrylate at the other end, which can inhibit charged molecules and modify Non-specific binding to surfaces.
Acrylate-PEG-Maleimide, MW 10K is a polymer that consists of a PEG chain with an acrylate group and a maleimide group attached to either end. The acrylate group can undergo radical polymerization, allowing for the formation of cross-linked hydrogels, while the maleimide group can react with thiol groups on other molecules via thiol-maleimide chemistry.
Acrylate-PEG-Maleimide has been widely used in pharmaceutical research and development due to its unique chemical properties. Its ability to form hydrogels provides a versatile platform for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing applications. The hydrogel matrix can be loaded with therapeutic agents, such as proteins and peptides, and the resulting system can be injected or implanted at the desired site of action, providing sustained release of the drug over time.
