Properties
Description
Nitrophenyl carbonate-PEG-chitosan, or chitosan-PEG-nitrophenyl carbonate, is a conjugate for research purposes, created by attaching a 750 Da PEG linker and nitrophenyl carbonate to chitosan, a natural polysaccharide from chitin. This combination utilizes chitosan's mucoadhesion, PEG's stealth properties, and nitrophenyl carbonate's reactivity.
