Hydroxy-PEG-acid

Hydroxy-PEG-acid (Acid-PEG-hydroxy) is a type of polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative that has gained significant attention in pharmaceutical research and development. This compound is characterized by a hydroxyl group on one end and a carboxylic acid group on the other end of a PEG chain, and its unique structure allows it to be easily modified and conjugated with various therapeutic molecules, such as drugs, peptides, and proteins.

Due to its excellent biocompatibility, water solubility, and low immunogenicity, Hydroxy-PEG-acid has been extensively investigated for use in drug delivery systems, as it can improve the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs and reduce their toxicity. Additionally, it has also been used as a linker to connect different molecules for the development of novel therapeutics.
