Properties
Description
DSPE-PEG-Ald is a reagent grade self-assembly polyPEG that spontaneously forms a lipid bilayer in water. The aldehyde is reactive with aminooxy to form a stable oxime linkage or with amine at pH < 7 to form a reversible imine bond. This compound is used to prepare drug carriers (nanoparticles or liposomes) as a targeted drug carrier, such as mRNA vaccines.
Functional Group 1
Aldehyde
Reactive Group 2
Aminooxy
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
DSPE-PEG-Ald primarily lies within the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science, specifically in the synthesis of bioconjugates and polymeric materials. The polymer is also used to prepare nanoparticles or liposomes as a targeted drug carrier, such as the mRNA vaccine.
