Linear Monofunctional Polyesters

Nanosoft Polymers (NSP) offers high quality linear monofunctional polyesters (i.e. PLGA, PLA, and PCL) with high purity and low polydispersity for drug delivery.

Aliphatic polyesters have gained significant attraction in recent decades as drug delivery systems due to their excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility. The degradation of the polyester backbone in vivo prevents accumulation of the carrier material and degraded products in the body, reducing the risk of long-term toxicity. Common polyesters used in drug delivery applications include poly(lactide)s (PLA), poly(caprolactones) s (PCL),  and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA).

Llinear monofunctional polyester derivatives have the following general structure:

M―polyester―X

where X can be a functional or reactive group, fluorescent molecules.
