Properties
Description
Diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid-PEG-chitosan, termed chitosan-PEG-diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid (350 Da), is a scientific conjugate formed by attaching a 350 Da PEG spacer and DTPA to chitosan—a chitin-derived polymer. This pairing merges chitosan's biocompatibility with PEG's solubility and DTPA's chelation capacity.
