Description

Z-15-Amino-4,7,10,13-Tetraoxapentadecacanoic Acid is a specialized polyether amino acid derivative, featuring a hydrophilic tetraethylene glycol spacer terminated with a carboxylic acid group. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable PEG-based linker for bioconjugation and the synthesis of complex molecular architectures. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and advanced materials sectors for developing drug delivery systems, diagnostic agents, and functionalized surfaces.

Application

• Bioconjugation and PEGylation: A key building block for attaching drugs, proteins, or peptides to polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to improve solubility, stability, and pharmacokinetics.
• Linker for Drug-Delivery Systems: Used in the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and other targeted therapeutic constructs.
• Surface Functionalization: Modifying nanoparticles, quantum dots, or biosensor surfaces to introduce carboxylic acid groups for further coupling reactions.
• Polymer Chemistry: Serves as a monomer or chain extender for creating functionalized, water-soluble polymers and hydrogels.
• Diagnostic Reagent Synthesis: Incorporating into fluorescent probes, MRI contrast agents, or other imaging molecules.
• Intermediate for Specialty Chemicals: A versatile intermediate for synthesizing more complex, custom PEG derivatives and ligands.
