Synonyms: Poly(ethylene glycol) bis(amine); O,O'-Bis(2-aminoethyl)polyethylene glycol; Diaminopolyethylene glycol; PEG-diamine; Polyoxyethylene bis(amine)
Linear Structural Formula: H2N(CH2CH2O)nCH2CH2NH2
MDL Number: MFCD00132004
Storage: 2-8C
Application: PEGylated materials have found broad use in drug delivery systems, virology, and immunology, as the incorporation of PEG improves pharmacological properties such as increased water solubility, enhanced resistance to degradation (protein hydrolysis), increased circulation half-life, and reduced antigenicity. Polymer for preparing enzyme conjugates soluble in organic solvents; promising drug carrier.
