|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, DSPE-PEG-Azide (MW 2000) is used to prepare nanoparticles or liposomes as targeted drug carriers. The azide group enables the conjugation of alkyne-functionalized targeting ligands, fluorescent probes, or therapeutic agents via CuAAC click chemistry.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, DSPE-PEG-Azide (MW 2000)-containing nanoparticles can be used for targeted drug delivery. The PEG component reduces opsonization and prolongs circulation time, while the azide group enables the attachment of targeting moieties for specific delivery to tissues or cells of interest.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (Infinity mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (Infinity mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More
