Description Pyridyl disulfide poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(lactide-co-glycolide) is a pyridyl disulfide (PDS)-functionalized, biocompatible, amphiphilic block copolymer.
Application Due to its self-assembling properties, this material can be used in the formation of nanoparticles for drug delivery. Additionally, due to the PDS-functionalization of the PEG block, this material can be used to rapidly covalently conjugate biomolecules, API, or targeting ligands. Potential uses include the targeted and/or controlled release of cancer drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, or anaesthetic agents.
Features And Benefits These biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can self-assemble to form nanoparticles, such as micelles and polymersomes, in both aqueous and non-aqueous media.
