Description
PLLA(3k)-PEG(3k)-ALK features a PLLA segment of 3k molecular weight and a PEG segment of 3k molecular weight, terminating with an alkyne group (ALK). The alkyne group can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions.
Applications
PLLA(3k)-PEG(3k)-ALK can be used as a carrier for controlled release and targeted delivery of molecules achieved through the water solubility of PEG and the biocompatibility of PLLA, and the alkyne functional group can also be used for coupling or modification of active molecules.
