Synonym: Methoxy polyethyle glycol α-tocopherol, D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol, TPGS PEG
Description:
Vitamin E, also called tocopherols, are a series of chiral organic molecules that vary in their degree of methylation of the phenol moiety of the chromanol ring. Tocopherols are lipid soluble anti-oxidants that protect cell membrane from oxidative damage. Methoxy PEG Vitamin E (TPGS-PEG) offered by Nanocs is a class of bioactive PEGs made from the PEG conjugation to α-tocopherol that can be used to for drug delivery or bioassay development.
