Abstract:
Albumin is an ideal drug carrier, but its application was limited because of the shortcomings of short half-life and susceptible to enzymatic degradation in vivo.However, according to its structural features, albumin has a plurality of modification sites, which can be modified by PEG modifier to extend the cycle time and obstruct the action of the enzyme.Currently, the PEG-modified albumin is still in the research stage, and there have been many studies about PEG-modified albumin, such as the role of PEG modification, the effects on albumin and its preparations and the modification sites selection.The article reviewed the related studies about the PEGylation of albumin.
