DSPE-Hyd-PEG, also known as distearoylphosphoethanolamine-hydrazide-polyethylene glycol, is a type of lipid-based polymer that has various applications in drug delivery and biomedical research.
One of the main applications of DSPE-Hyd-PEG is in the field of targeted drug delivery. It is often used as a component of liposomes or lipid nanoparticles to improve the stability and targeting ability of drug carriers. DSPE-Hyd-PEG can be conjugated with targeting ligands, such as antibodies or peptides, to specifically bind to receptors on the surface of target cells. This targeted drug delivery system allows for more efficient and selective delivery of therapeutic agents to the desired site, while minimizing off-target effects.
