Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid (5 kDa), known as diethyltriaminepentaacetic acid-PEG-chitosan, is an investigational conjugate formed by grafting a 5 kDa PEG tether and DTPA onto chitosan—a chitin-sourced polysaccharide. This pairing integrates chitosan's biocompatibility with PEG's prolonged circulation and DTPA's imaging capabilities.
