HOOCCH2CH2-PEG-DMA

Carboxylic acid-poly(ethylene glycol)-N,N-Ditetradecylacetamide (COOH-PEG-DMA) is an amphiphilic PEG lipid combining a di-C14 alkyl amide anchor with a defined-length hydrophilic PEG segment. Discrete chain lengths with different degrees of polymerization are available. The carboxyl group can be activated for amide coupling with primary-amine-containing molecules, retaining a handle for subsequent ligand or carrier attachment. It can be used to construct interfaces in membrane-related systems and nanoparticle formulations, enabling comparisons of anchoring structure, hydrophilic chain length, terminal functionality, and formulation dispersion.
