Description
PEG17 is a polymer consisiting of repeating ethylene glycol subunits and terminal hydroxyl groups. The ethylene glycol units increase the water solubility of hydrophobic compounds, allowing for them to be more compatible in aqueous settings. The terminal hydroxyl groups can react to further derivatize the compound.
Uses
HO-PEG14-OH acts as a reagent in the synthesis of ‘UA’ Orion substance for treatment and prevention of oncological diseases.
Definition
ChEBI: Tetradecaethylene glycol is a poly(ethylene glycol) containing 14 ethyleneoxy units. It has a role as an epitope.
