Calculating the Contour Length and Hydrodynamic Radius of Polyethylene Glycol in Aqueous Solutions

This post outlines the fundamental methods for calculating the contour length—the maximum extended chain dimension—and the hydrodynamic radius, which characterizes the effective size of the solvated coil. These calculations rely on established polymer physics and empirical relations from experimental data.

FDA Approves Constipation Drug PEGylated Naloxol

FDA has approved AstraZeneca’s Movantik for opioid-induced constipation in adults with chronic non-cancer pain. Movantik (naloxegol), an oral once-a-day treatment originally developed by Nektar Therapeutics, can decrease the constipating effects of opioids. The drug’s safety and effectiveness were established in two clinical trials. What Is PEGylated Naloxegol? Naloxegol is PEGylated naloxol, which is a peripherally-selective […]

High-Density Lipoprotein Mimetic Drug Delivery Systems for Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases

Nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs), which are mimetics of naturally occurring high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) present in the human body have been suggested as a new delivery platform for a range of therapeutics for cancer chemotherapy, heart disease, and infectious diseases. FDA approved drugs such as immunotherapeutic proteins, single-stranded DNA, small molecule drugs such as doxorubicin can be […]

PEGylation Protocols and Literature References

Creative PEGWorks has collected hundreds of papers published in peer-reviewed journals citing the use of PEG derivatives for PEGylation of proteins, enzymes, antibodies, peptides, biologic, nucleic acids, nanoparticles, chips, surfaces, dendrimers, hydrogels, liposomes and micelles. These papers describe detailed procedures and chemistry reaction conditions as well as experiment characterization data for the use of PEGylation […]

PEGylated Hyaluronic Acid Nanoparticle Drug Delivery

A research group from the Republic of Korea developed poly(ethylene glycol)-conjugated hyaluronic acid nanoparticles (PEG-HANPs) with high tumor targetability. Doxorubicin (DOX) was chosen as the model anticancer drug and was effectively encapsulated into the mineralized nanoparticles. How PEGylated Drugs Impact Cancer Research “The most effective antitumor efficacy was observed for DOX-loaded PEG-HANPs. Overall, these results […]

Surfactant-like PEG Derivatives for Drug Delivery

Creative PEGWorks developed a series of amphiphilic, surfactant-like PEG derivatives and they are now available for purchase online. PEG surfactants and pegylated lipids can be used for drug delivery and formulation, to enhance drug solubility, improve bioavailability and pharmacokinetics, enable targeting cell receptors, and amplify imaging signals. PEGs in Drug Delivery & Formulation Successful examples […]
