| Application: | Methacrylic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester can be used:• As a monomer to prepare degradable amphiphilic diblock copolymer microparticles via RAFT polymerization, for low pH-triggered drug delivery. NHS-MA can shield the drug molecule from degradation, enhance its solubility, and improve its pharmacokinetic properties. • For the surface functionalization of poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) scaffolds used for tissue engineering. NHS groups are used to couple with chitosan of various molecular weights. • To prepare biocompatible polymer hydrogel for enzymatic biofuel cells. The hydrogel can serve as an enzyme-immobilizing matrix for enzymatic bioelectrodes. |
| General description: | Methacrylic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester(NHS-MA) belongs to the class of reactive monomers known as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters. It is commonly used for functionalizing biomolecules through amine-reactive coupling reactions infields such as bioconjugation, protein labeling, and peptide synthesis. It also serves as a crosslinking agent or linker molecule for the conjugation of drugs or targeting ligands to carrier materials. |
