DSPE-PEG(3400) Carboxylic acid A88182 (Previously 880182) 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[carboxy(polyethylene glycol)-3400] (sodium salt)
DSPE PEG(3400) COOH has various applications in the field of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery. The DSPE's hydrophobic characteristics facilitate the encapsulation and gathering of other hydrophobic drugs. In the presence of an activator like EDC or HATU, the -COOH group can readily react with primary amines, resulting in the formation of a stable amide bond. By changing the PEG length, one can change the micelle size, immunological safety, and change the drug release rate.
