Poly(L-Ornithine)-MPEG

Price range: $380.00 through $1,200.00

Poly(L-Ornithine)-MPEG is a biocompatible polypeptide-polyethylene glycol copolymer consisting of poly(L-ornithine) and methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG). The poly(L-ornithine) segment provides multiple cationic amino groups for nucleic acid binding and cellular interactions, while the mPEG segment improves water solubility, biocompatibility, and colloidal stability. Poly(L-Ornithine)-MPEG is widely used in gene delivery, drug delivery, biomaterials engineering, and nanomedicine research.

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.
