Folate-PEG3-Amine (CAS: 710323-40-3) is a versatile molecular probe widely used in targeted drug delivery and MRI imaging. Its PEG3 linker provides better water solubility than non-PEG versions, enhancing its ability to deliver drugs effectively. By binding to folate receptors, which are overexpressed on many cancer cells, it ensures more precise targeting in treatments.
Components:
- Folate: Targets cancer cells by binding to folate receptors.
- PEG3: Improves water solubility and adds flexibility.
- Amine Group (-NH2): Allows easy binding to drugs, proteins, or surfaces.
Folate-PEG3-Amine Applications:
- Targeted Drug Delivery: Its high affinity for folate receptors helps deliver drugs directly to cancer cells, improving efficiency and minimizing side effects.
- MRI Imaging: By combining with imaging agents, it enhances visibility in medical scans.
- Nanoparticle and Medical Device Coating: Its ability to modify the surfaces of nanoparticles and medical devices improves biocompatibility and drug efficiency.
This compound’s role in medical applications is essential for both diagnostics and therapy. Let me know if you need further clarification!
