Folate-PEG1-oxyamine CAS:1821433-30-0 is a chemical compound that is composed of several functional groups, including a folate group, a PEG (polyethylene glycol) chain, and an oxyamine group. The folate group is a type of vitamin B that is involved in DNA synthesis and cell division, while the PEG chain improves the solubility, stability, and biocompatibility of the compound. The oxyamine group is a versatile functional group that can react with various other functional groups to form stable covalent bonds, making it a useful tool for the development of bioconjugates or prodrugs. In medicine, Folate-PEG1-oxyamine can be used as a starting material for the synthesis of folate-targeted drugs or nanoparticles, which can selectively target folate receptor-overexpressing cancer cells. This targeted delivery mechanism can improve the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of drugs, as well as reduce their toxicity and side effects.
