Folate-PEG1-hydrazide is a small molecule linker that contains several functional groups, including a folate group, a PEG (polyethylene glycol) chain, and a hydrazide group. The folate group can bind to the folate receptor, which is overexpressed in many cancer cells, allowing for targeted delivery of drugs or imaging agents to cancer cells. The PEG chain can improve the solubility, stability, and biocompatibility of the linker, while the hydrazide group can be used to conjugate the linker to other molecules, such as drugs or imaging agents, through the formation of stable hydrazone linkages. Folate-PEG1-hydrazide is a versatile tool for targeted drug delivery and imaging in cancer research, with the potential to improve the efficacy and specificity of cancer treatment.
