Biological Activity
The structure of PEG-Methyl acrylate contains two key parts that work synergistically:
Methyl acrylate: Contains a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C), which can undergo polymerization or cross-linking reactions in the presence of free radical initiators or ultraviolet light.
PEG chain: Acts as a hydrophilic spacer, forming a hydration layer on the particle surface, which can reduce non-specific adsorption and recognition and clearance by the immune system, prolonging the circulation time of the carrier in vivo.
