N3-PEG-NHS(Azide-PEG-NHS) ,MW 3.4K is composed of three functional groups: azide, PEG, and NHS. Azide is a highly reactive group that can undergo click chemistry reactions with alkyne or cyclooctyne groups. PEG (polyethylene glycol) is a hydrophilic polymer that can improve the solubility and bioavailability of drug molecules. NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) is an amine-reactive group that is widely used for conjugating proteins or peptides to various surfaces or drugs.
In pharmaceutical research and development, Azide-PEG-NHS has been utilized in various applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and targeting. By conjugating Azide-PEG-NHS to drug molecules or targeting ligands, the resulting products can improve their solubility, stability, and targeting specificity. Furthermore, Azide-PEG-NHS can be used to develop diagnostic imaging agents for cancer or inflammatory diseases. The ability of Azide-PEG-NHS to undergo click chemistry reactions with imaging probes allows for the rapid and efficient labeling of biomolecules for imaging studies.
Azide-PEG-NHS unique functional groups and versatile applications make it an attractive choice for drug development and diagnostic imaging.
