Product Description
PEG300 (also called Polyethylene glycol 300) is a water-soluble, low immunogenic, low/non-toxic and biocompatible polymer formed by repeating ethylene glycol units. It is a neutral polymer with a molecular weight 300 and can be used as ointment base, lubricant and other pharmaceutical excipients. PEG300 indicates the average molecular weight of the specific PEG at 300. Pharmaceutical excipients or pharmaceutical auxiliaries refer to other chemical substances other than drug ingredients used in the pharmaceutical process. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients can also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of concomitant medications. Polyethylene glycol, referred to as PEG, is used as an inactive ingredient in the pharmaceutical industry as a solvent, plasticizer, surfactant, ointment and suppository base, and tablet and capsule lubricant. PEG has low toxicity with systemic absorption less than 0.5%.PEGylation occurs when PEGs are attached to various protein medications, allowing for greater solubility for certain drugs. Examples of PEGylated medications include PEG-interferon alpha (Pegintron) and PEG-filgrastim (Neulasta). PEG is also available as a bowel prep for colonoscopy procedures and as a laxative.

ln Vitro
The water soluble polymers studied were; polyethylene glycol (PEG) (molecular weight, Mw, 300 and 1000) (neutral), polyamine (FL15) (Mw 5000) (cationic) and polyacrylic acid, PAA, (Mw 2000) (charge dependant on pH) to establish the effect of polymer charge on the nature and extent of adsorption. XRD and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy have shown that water soluble polymers adsorb onto clay dispersions and are stable when deposited as thin solid films. XRD indicates that PEG stacks as either one or two layers whereas PAA and FL15 are restricted to a single layer between the clay lamellae. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy showed that FL15 penetrated the Na–SWy-1 films which contained low loadings of PEG without displacing any of the resident PEG. When a bilayer of PEG was present, FL15 did not penetrate into the film. Both PAA and PEG adsorbed onto FL15 loaded Na–SWy-1 films irrespective of FL15 loading or the molecular weight of the PEG. ATR-FTIR indicated that significant adsorption occurred in under 30 s and the adsorption rate was not influenced by the presence of a second polymer preloaded into the clay. [1]
The FDA has approved polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a carrier or matrix in food, cosmetics, and drugs, including injectable, topical, rectal, and nasal preparations. PEG is almost non-toxic and can be completely eliminated from the body through the kidneys (for PEG<30 kDa) or feces (for PEG>20 kDa). PEG lacks immunogenicity, and antibodies against PEG are only produced in rabbits when PEG binds to high immunogenic proteins. [2,3]
ln Vivo
Up to 50% of PEG300 can be used in intravenous and intramuscular injection forms, with no toxic effects. When taken orally, the maximum percentage of PEG300 can reach 90%.[4,5]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
