Application

Methoxypolyethylene glycol amine can:
  • Form dendritic micelles to enhance the solubility of hydrophobic compounds.
  • Conjugate with an anticancer drug methotrexate (MTX) to form MTX-PEG with potential application as drug carriers.
  • Couple with polyethylenimine (PEI) to form graft copolymers which can be used as nonviral gene vectors.

Other Notes

Oligomer used to prepare PEG-ylated conjugates having the advantage of reduced immunogenicity and increased serum half life

Fouling Resistant Biomimetic Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Based Grafted Polymer Coatings

Accumulation of biological matter at surfaces is an inevitable event in virtually any environment in which natural and man-made materials are used. Although sometimes fouling of surfaces with biomolecules and bioorganisms has little consequence, biofouling must be minimized or controlled in order to maintain performance and safety of devices and structures.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
