PEGYLATION: an important approach for novel drug delivery system

Deepa Yadav, Hitesh Kumar Dewangan

Open publisher page 154 citations

Abstract

PEGylation is the covalent addition of PEG to one more molecule. PEGylation can improve the maintenance time of the therapeutics similar to proteins, liposomes, and nanoparticle through shielding them beside different debasing mechanisms dynamic in a body that improve beneficial properties. This skill is used to get better half-life and other pharmaceutical properties of a protein, peptide, or non-peptide molecule. Polyethylene glycol is harmless, non-immunogenic, non-antigenic, and extremely soluble in water and FDA accepted polymer. It shows a significant role in drug delivery. A variety of PEG-based formulations are available in the market. This paper represents the benefits of PEGylation over non-PEGylated products. Now a day, PEGylation plays an important role in the drug delivery system. PEGylation increases the therapeutic potential of drugs.
