Description
General Description
DSPE-PEG-OH is a versatile lipid-PEG conjugate designed for membrane anchoring and nanoparticle stabilization. The DSPE lipid anchor readily incorporates into liposomal membranes and lipid nanoparticle formulations, while the PEG spacer extends into the aqueous environment, improving colloidal stability, reducing nonspecific interactions, and enhancing circulation properties.
The terminal hydroxyl group provides a useful handle for further chemical modification and polymer synthesis. DSPE-PEG-OH is commonly used as a lipid nanoparticle stabilizer, liposome surface modifier, and synthetic intermediate for preparing functionalized DSPE-PEG derivatives. It is widely utilized in drug delivery, nanomedicine, and biomaterials applications.
