General description
Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a synthetic polymer[6] and is used as an additive in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.[1] It is also involved in biomedical applications like biosensing, imaging, and tissue engineering. PEG is used as a gold standard in bioconjugation and nanomedicine thereby increasing blood circulation time and improving drug efficacy. PEG-conjugated drugs are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are considered safe for use in humans.[6] PEG reduces the liver uptake and repels protein adsorption, which makes it useful in nanocoating.[7]
