Expert Verdict
General PEG contamination concerns; betulin itself is well-tolerated but data on this high-molecular-weight PEGylated form is limited. Very high PEG chain (200 EO units, ~8,800 g/mol) dramatically increases water solubility of the otherwise poorly soluble betulin; betulin offers anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties
