Mal-amido-PEG8-C2-acid is widely used in bioconjugation and drug delivery systems due to its hydrophilic PEG spacer and reactive functional groups. The PEG8 chain enhances solubility and reduces immunogenicity, making it ideal for modifying proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules. The malemide group allows for selective conjugation with thiol-containing molecules, such as cysteine residues in proteins, enabling precise attachment of therapeutic agents or imaging probes. Additionally, the carboxylic acid end group facilitates further functionalization or coupling to amine-containing molecules via standard coupling reactions. This compound is particularly valuable in the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), targeted drug delivery systems, and diagnostic tools, where stability and specificity are critical. Its versatility also extends to surface modification of nanoparticles and biomaterials for improved biocompatibility and targeted applications.
