Acid-PEG6-SS-PEG6-acid CAS:2055014-97-4 is a type of compound that contains two PEG (polyethylene glycol) chains separated by a disulfide (S-S) bond. This type of compound is commonly used in pharmaceuticals as a linker or spacer to conjugate different molecules or drugs.
The disulfide bond is a functional group that can be cleaved under specific conditions, such as in the presence of glutathione, a reducing agent that is abundant in cells. This allows for the release of the drug or molecule that is conjugated to one end of the linker.
Acid-PEG6-SS-PEG6-acid as a linker, it is possible to create prodrugs that can be activated specifically in diseased cells or tissues, leading to a more targeted and effective treatment. Additionally, the PEG chains can provide steric hindrance and increase solubility, improving the pharmacokinetic properties of the drug.
AxisPharm offers 5000+ PEG Linkers with high purity. Different kinds of PEG Reagents may be available by custom synthesis.
