| Product Name | Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-block-poly(D,L lactide)-block-decane |
| Synonym(s) | PEG-PDLLA-decane, PEG-b-PLA-b-decane, PEG-PLA |
| Description | Block copolymer micelles are widely used in drug delivery applications. PEG-PDLLA is a biodegradable polymeric micelle which is used as a carrier for hydrophobic drugs like Paclitaxel. The hydrophilic PEG and hydrophobic PDLLA form the micelle core wherein the hydrophobic drug is loaded. The incorporation of the 10-alkyl end cap (decane) increases the hydrophobicity of the micelle core and increases its solubilizing capability for hydrophobic drugs. |
