Peptide Modifications For PEGylation
PEGylation is the process of covalently attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer chains to peptides. By increasing their molecular mass and shielding them from proteolytic enzymes, PEGylation improves the pharmacokinetics of peptides and proteins. PEGylation reduces renal clearance and results in more sustained absorption after subcutaneous administration, as well as restricted distribution. PEGylations have been shown to significantly improve water solubility, biocompatibility, immunogenicity, and other physico-chemical properties. It is an established method for the delivery of biopharmaceuticals.The Glutathione (GSH), a tripeptide formed from glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine, is active in many biological redox reactions. The conjugation of glutathione to its PEGylated liposome can be transported through the blood brain barrier in vivo via a sodium-dependent transporter. The GSH PEGylated liposomes enhance delivery of a fluorescent marker in the brain.
Biochempeg will PEGylate your peptide, or small molecule, and deliver your PEGylated product with a certificate of analysis, as a regular end-product, for further testing at your site. As a global partner, we can supply commercial quantities of high quality functionalized PEGs, which are essential for your PEGylated therapeutic proteins.
Pharmacological advantages of peptide PEGylation:
①Improved peptide solubility and enhanced protection from proteolytic degradation. The PEG polymer, along with its associated water molecules, acts like a shield to protect the attached peptide drug from enzyme degradation, thereby limiting adverse immunological effects. PEGylated peptides are more stable over a range of pH and temperature changes compared with their un-PEGylated counterparts.
②Reduced dosing frequency with potentially reduced toxicity. PEG exhibits little toxicity, and is eliminated intact from the body by either the kidneys (for PEGylated drugs 20 kDa).
③Increased peptide or drug stability and extended circulating life. PEG lacks immunogenicity, and antibodies against PEG in rabbits are generated only if it is combined with highly immunogenic proteins.
Biochempeg can attach the PEGs to peptides. Some examples are listed below:
①Monofunctional PEG Maleimide, Molecular Weight of 1K, 2K, 5K, 10K, 20K, or 30K
②Bifunctional Maleimide PEG Maleimide, Molecular Weight of 1K, 2K, 5K, 10K, 20K, or 30K
③DSPE-PEG-MAL, Maleimide functionalized PEG Lipid,Molecular Weight of 1K, 2K, or 5K
④Biotin PEG Maleimide, FITC, PEG Maleimide, Multi-arm-4/8 arm-PEG Maleimide
⑤Fmoc-ε-Ahx-OH, or N-ε-Fmoc-ε-aminocaproic acid; or Fmoc-6-aminohexanoic acid; CAS number: 88574-06-5; Molecular weight: 353.42 g/mol.
⑥Ahx or b-Ala can be used successfully as spacers during the generation of FITC-labeled peptides, which increases the stability of the fluorescent label. FITC can also be linked easily to a cysteine thiol moiety or to the amino group of lysine at any position.Synthesis using an Ahx linker in the lysine core resulted in better yields. Ahx increases the flexibility of peptide chains, which might help keep peptide chains properly solvated during synthesis, thereby preventing aggregation and increasing the amount of viable growing peptide sequences.
⑦{Mini-PEG}, 9 Carbons, CAS number: 166108-71-0; Fmoc-NH-(PEG)-COOH, or Fmoc-8-Amino-3,6-Dioxaoctanoic Acid; Molecular weight: 385.42 g/mol; C21H23NO6
⑧{Mini-PEG3}, Fmoc-AEEEA, CAS number: 139338-72-0; Fmoc-NH-(PEG)3-COOH, or Fmoc-11-Amino-3,6,9-Trioxaundecanoic Acid; Molecular weight: 429.47 g/mol; C23H27NO7

Biopharma PEG Provides Multi-arm PEG Derivatives Crosslinked Into Hydrogels
Polyethylene (ethylene glycol) is a hydrophilic polymer that can have a very high water content when cross-linked into a network. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a suitable material for biological applications because it does not normally elicit an immune response. Since the 1970s, PEG has been used to modify therapeutic proteins and peptides in order to increase their solubility, reduce their toxicity, and prolong their cyclic half-lives. In the late 1970s,…
Semaglutide VS Liraglutide: Which Is Better For Weight Loss
Among adults with overweight or obesity, once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide plus counseling for diet and physical activity results in significantly greater weight loss at 68 weeks than once-daily subcutaneous liraglutide, according to a study published in the Jan. 11 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Domenica M. Rubino, M.D., from the Washington Center for Weight Management and Research in Arlington, Virginia, and colleagues compared the efficacy and adverse event…
What Are Components And Mechanism Action of Antibody-Drug Conjugates
Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC) is a type of anticancer drug that links a drug to cancer-targeting antibodies. The antibody detects tumor-specific proteins expressed on cancer cells and directs the cytotoxic anticancer drug towards the cancer cell.
Compared to alternative cancer treatments, for example, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and stem cell therapy, ADC combines chemotherapy and immunotherapy and allows selective delivery of anticancer drugs and reduces systemic exposure and toxicity of anticancer drugs.
