Description
General Description
Poly(L-Ornithine)-MPEG is an amphiphilic block copolymer that combines the cationic properties of poly(L-ornithine) with the hydrophilic and stealth characteristics of polyethylene glycol. Poly(L-ornithine) contains pendant primary amine groups capable of interacting with negatively charged nucleic acids, proteins, cell membranes, and biomolecules, making it useful for delivery and surface modification applications.
The mPEG segment enhances aqueous solubility, reduces nonspecific interactions, improves colloidal stability, and increases biocompatibility. Poly(L-Ornithine)-MPEG is frequently utilized for gene delivery systems, nucleic acid complexation, nanoparticle formulation, tissue engineering, and advanced biomaterials development.
