DMG-PEG2000-R8
DMG-PEG2000-R8 (DMG-PEG2000-Mal-Cys-RRRRRRRR) is a functionalized PEGylated phospholipid conjugate composed of three modular components: dimyristoylglycerol (DMG) as a lipid anchoring group, a 2000 Da polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm, and an R8 peptide as a terminal targeting/functional ligand. DMG-PEG2000-R8 can be used in research on intracellular drug delivery, nucleic acid delivery, etc.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
DMG-PEG2000-R8 is composed of three covalently linked components: 1. DMG (dimyristoylglycerol): Lipid anchoring group-a diacylglycerol with two C14 chains, providing moderate membrane anchorage; its short-chain, high-fluidity characteristics enable faster dissociation of PEG-lipids from nanoparticle surfaces, facilitating endosomal escape and cellular uptake. 2. PEG 2000 (polyethylene glycol, molecular weight 2000): Hydrophilic polymer spacer arm-forms a steric hindrance crown around nanoparticles, reducing opsonin activity and reticuloendothelial system (RES) clearance, prolonging circulating half-life, and providing steric separation between the lipid surface and the targeting ligand. 3. R8 peptide: Targeting/functional ligand-R8 peptide (octaarginine) is a cationic cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) that mediates carrier entry into cells through positive-charge interaction with the negative charge on the cell membrane surface, effectively enhancing cellular uptake efficiency.
