Properties
Description
Amino-chitosan, referred to as chitosan-NH2, is an experimental conjugate synthesized by functionalizing chitosan—a chitin-derived polysaccharide—with amino groups. This combination preserves chitosan's biocompatibility while enabling further derivatization.
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Stability
It is stable under its storage temperature.
Quality Level
Research level
Applications
Chitosan-NH2 can be used to engineer pH-sensitive drug conjugation via primary amine reactivity.
Storage
Store at -20°C, protect from light and moisture.
