Alkyne-PEG-Iodide

Alkyne-PEG-Iodide is a functional group commonly used in pharmaceutical research and development due to its ability to form covalent bonds with other molecules. It is composed of an alkyne group, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker, and an iodide functional group. The alkyne group provides a site for click chemistry reactions, which allow for the efficient attachment of other molecules to the Alkyne-PEG-Iodide. The PEG linker can improve solubility and increase the circulation time of the compound in the body, while the iodide group can enhance the compound’s reactivity and enable it to interact with specific biological targets. These properties make Alkyne-PEG-Iodide an attractive option for drug development and biomaterials research, as it can be easily modified to target specific diseases or biological systems.
