Catalog Number
ACMA00015877
Product Name
Bis-MPA-NHBoc dendrimer
Synonyms
Bis-MPA dendrimer, PFD-G2-TMP-NH-BOC, NHBoc functionalized dendrimer
Description
Bis-MPA (or 2,2-Bis(methylol)propionic acid) is an aliphatic, pro-chiral molecule comprised of two hydroxyls and one carboxylic group that has been used in the synthesis of many different types of polymers.
Application
Dendrimers synthesized from bis-MPA are biodegradable and have low cytotoxicity, making them well suited for use in biological research s. These materials have been used in many s such as signal amplification in bioassays and in drug delivery s. After Boc deprotection, amine-functionalized dendrimers can be readily used in EDC or DCC coupling reactions with carbonyl-containing compounds to yield highly functionalized materials for a variety of biomedical s.
