Description

PEG 200 is a polymer of ethylene glycol. It has been used as an excipient in pharmaceutical products, such as proteins and peptides. PEG 200 is used to increase the solubility of drugs that are insoluble in water and other polar solvents. It is also used to reduce the bioavailability of drugs that are highly lipophilic. PEG 200 is soluble in nonpolar solvents such as benzene, chloroform, and dichloromethane. This polymer has been shown to bind with human proteins due to its hydrophilic properties. The hydrophobic properties of PEG 200 also make it suitable for drug delivery by laser ablation, which can be used to selectively destroy cancer cells by heating them.br>PEG 200 has been shown to inhibit epidermal growth factor (EGF) activity when applied topically and may have a role in preventing skin cancer.br> PEG 200 is not generally metabol
