Saccharide Based RAFT Agents: Enabling the Next Generation of Biocompatible Smart Polymers
TS-075519 — A galactose-based RAFT chain transfer agent (Gal-RAFT) that incorporates a sugar moiety at the polymer terminus
, enabling the synthesis of well-defined polymers with an integrated carbohydrate handle for subsequent biological applications.
Overview
Most commercial RAFT agents are designed for polymerization control, including but not limited to chain length, architecture, and dispersity, and lack biologically relevant functionality for advanced drug delivery and targeting. Hence, incorporating a targeting molecule requires separate …
