Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-C16 palmitic acid (2 kDa), also known as C16 palmitic acid-PEG-chitosan, is an experimental conjugate featuring a 2 kDa polyethylene glycol chain connecting chitosan—a chitin-derived polysaccharide—to palmitic acid. This construct integrates chitosan's biocompatibility with PEG's molecular shielding and palmitic acid's drug delivery enhancement.
