Properties
Description
Azido-PEG4-CH2CO2H represents a widely used linker featuring an azide group along with a terminal carboxylic acid functionality suitable for click chemistry applications. The hydrophilic PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media while allowing the azide moiety to react with alkyne compounds like BCN or DBCO through click chemistry methods to create stable triazole linkages. Moreover, the terminal carboxylic acid can interact with primary amines when activated by agents such as EDC or HATU.
Molecular Formula
C10H19N3O6
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
In the field of drug delivery, it can be used to modify the surface of nanoparticles or liposomes to enhance their biocompatibility and circulation time in the bloodstream.
