Background & Applications:
PEG 11-Azido-3,6,9-trioxaundecan-1-amine is a heterobifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker featuring a terminal azide group and a primary amine separated by a defined PEG11 spacer. The PEG backbone provides excellent aqueous solubility, flexibility, and biocompatibility, while reducing non-specific interactions in biological systems. The azide functionality enables efficient bioorthogonal conjugation via click chemistry (e.g., CuAAC or strain-promoted reactions), and the amine group offers versatile reactivity toward NHS esters, activated carboxylic acids, and isocyanates. This combination makes PEG 11-Azido-Amine a valuable building block within a broad portfolio of functionalized PEGs designed for precision molecular assembly.
Applications
PEG 11-Azido-3,6,9-trioxaundecan-1-amine is widely used in bioconjugation, drug delivery, and materials science applications. Typical uses include site-specific attachment of PEG chains to peptides, proteins, nanoparticles, and surfaces, development of PEGylated drug candidates, and construction of multifunctional linkers for diagnostics and imaging agents. As part of a comprehensive line of functionalized PEG linkers, this compound supports customizable spacer lengths and end-group chemistries for advanced research, pharmaceutical development, and specialty materials innovation.
