DLPE-PEG-Mal, MW 2K is a compound that belongs to the family of polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivatives, which are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery applications.
The dilauroyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DLPE) component of DLPE-PEG-Mal is a phospholipid that is commonly found in cell membranes, and has been shown to enhance the stability and bioavailability of drugs by improving their solubility and targeting properties. The polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain in DLPE-PEG-Mal is a hydrophilic polymer that can protect drugs from degradation, reduce their immunogenicity, and increase their circulation time in the bloodstream. The maleimide group in DLPE-PEG-Mal, MW 2K is a reactive moiety that can form covalent bonds with thiol groups on proteins and peptides, allowing for targeted drug delivery and site-specific conjugation.
