Description
Palmitic acid-PEG2-acid is a conjugate molecule combining a hydrophobic 16-carbon palmitic acid chain with a hydrophilic PEG2 linker, terminating in a reactive carboxylic acid group. This structure enhances solubility and enables efficient coupling with amine-containing molecules.
Applications
Palmitic acid-PEG2-acid is used in lipid-based drug delivery, nanoparticle formulation, and surface modification. The terminal carboxylic acid can form stable amide bonds with amines, making it ideal for bioconjugation and the synthesis of amphiphilic compounds in biomedical research.
