PLGA-PEG-PLGA
Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(lactide-co-glycolide) | PLGA-PEG-PLGA triblock copolymer is copolymer of lactide, Glycolide and PEG in a 50/50 molar ratio. PLGA-PEG-PLGA is an amphiphilic triblock copolymer which can self-assemble into micelles in aqueous medium due to the hydrophobic interactions present in the hydrophobic segments.
Application:
Used in the synthesis of targeted nanoparticles which are used for differential delivery and controlled release of drugs.
Synonyms:
Poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(lactide-co-glycolide)
