m-PEG (Methoxy-PEG) Linkers are PEG derivatives with a methoxy group and reactive ends like -NH2, -COOH, -NHS, -TCO, or -Azide. They improve solubility, stability, and biocompatibility, making them useful for drug delivery, bioconjugation, surface coating, and diagnostic applications.
M-PEG
m-PEG (Methoxy-Polyethylene Glycol) Linkers are PEG derivatives with a methoxy group at one end and a reactive functional group at the other. They are widely used in pharmaceuticals, bioconjugation, and material science due to their water solubility, flexibility, and low immunogenicity.
Key Features:
- Methoxy Group: Provides stability and prevents unwanted cross-linking.
- Functional End Groups: Available with various reactive groups like -NH2, -COOH, -NHS, -TCO, -BBTA, and -Azide for tailored applications.
- PEG Spacer: Increases solubility, reduces aggregation, and minimizes immune response.
Applications:
- Drug Delivery: Enhances solubility, stability, and circulation time for drugs and therapeutic molecules.
- Bioconjugation: Links biomolecules, including proteins, peptides, and antibodies, for research and diagnostics.
- Surface Modification: Functionalizes surfaces for improved reactivity and compatibility.
- Diagnostics & Imaging: Facilitates the development of imaging agents and diagnostic probes.
