General description

Chol-PEG600, also known as cholesterol-(polyethylene glycol-600), is a derivative of cholesterol and is a nonionic amphipathic lipid. Structurally, it comprises lipophilic cholesterol and covalently bound hydrophilic PEG.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PEG-cholesterol is mainly used in preparation of lipoplexes for DNA transfection studies, and liposomes for encapsulated drug delivery.
