18:0 PEG2000 PE (Ammonium Salt) A80120 (Previously 880120) 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (ammonium salt)
18:0 PEG2000 PE, or 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (ammonium salt), is a high-purity, synthetic phospholipid conjugated with polyethylene glycol (PEG). This PEGylated phospholipid consists of distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE) and methoxy-terminated PEG with a molecular weight of 2000. The ammonium salt form improves this phospholipid’s aqueous solubility and is ideal for incorporating into liposomal formulations and other drug delivery systems.
The lipid provides steric stabilization of liposomes, enhancing circulation time and reducing recognition by the reticuloendothelial system (RES).
