Boc-NH-PEG-Mal ,MW 20K is a chemical compound that is widely used in pharmaceutical research and development. This compound is composed of three main functional groups: the Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) protecting group, the PEG (polyethylene glycol) linker, and the Maleimide reactive group.
The Boc group serves as a temporary protecting group for the amine group, preventing unwanted reactions during synthesis. The PEG linker provides water solubility and biocompatibility, making Boc-NH-PEG-Mal ,MW 20K an excellent candidate for drug delivery systems. The Maleimide group is a reactive group that can react with thiol groups in proteins, making it a useful tool for conjugating peptides, antibodies, and other biomolecules.
Boc-NH-PEG-Mal ,MW 20K is commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry to develop new drug delivery systems, as well as in research for targeted drug delivery and biomolecule conjugation. It is a versatile compound that can be tailored to specific needs and applications, making it an essential tool in drug development.
