DSPE-PEG-Folate (Cat No.:I041201) is a bioconjugate consisting of a distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE) lipid, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and folic acid. The PEG chain (with a molecular weight of 2000 Da) enhances solubility and stability, while the folate group allows for targeted delivery to folate receptor-positive cells, commonly overexpressed in certain cancer cells and tissues. This compound is widely used in drug delivery systems, particularly in nanomedicine, to improve the targeting and uptake of therapeutic agents or nanoparticles. It is being explored in cancer therapies, aiming to increase drug efficacy and reduce side effects.
