CAS 2615-15-8: Hexaethylene glycol

Hexaethylene glycol is a PEG-based linker for PROTACs which joins two essential ligands, crucial for forming PROTAC molecules.

Hexaethylene glycol

Hexaethylene glycol exhibits antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-cancer properties. It also shows potential application as functional hydraulic fluids. It is used as a surfactant building block as well as used in biological sample preparation. Further, it is employed in the synthesis of binaphthol-based macrocyclic ethers using intramolecular oxidative coupling with CuCl(OH). This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications Hexaethylene Glycol is part of a leaf extract (Murdannia Bracteata) which exhibits antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-cancer properties. It also shows potential application as functional hydraulic fluids. References Wei, L.S. et al.: Pharmacologyonline, 3, 930 (2010); Houssamy, S.F.E. et al.: Mat. Res. Inno., 6, 141 (2002);

Hexaethylene glycol is a surfactant that is used as a solvent in paints, lacquers, and varnishes. It is also used as an agent to break down proteins and lipids in biological samples. Hexaethylene glycol has been shown to inhibit the growth of infectious bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes. Hexaethylene glycol also has structural properties that are similar to those of polyethylene glycol (PEG), which may contribute to its antimicrobial activity.
