Degradable terpolymers with alkyl side chains demonstrate enhanced gene delivery potency and nanoparticle stability.

چکیده
Degradable, cationic poly(β-amino ester)s (PBAEs) with alkyl side chains are developed for non-viral gene delivery. Nanoparticles formed from these PBAE terpolymers exhibit significantly enhanced DNA transfection potency and resistance to aggregation. These hydrophobic PBAE terpolymers, but not PBAEs lacking alkyl side chains, support interaction with PEG-lipid conjugates, facilitating their functionalization with shielding and targeting moieties and accelerating the in vivo translation of these materials.

Objective(s): First, 10-bromodecanoic acid was covalently attached to all available surface primary amines of PPI G2 and G3 to increase their lipophilicity. In the subsequent step, PPIs were conjugated to the alkylcarboxylate groups of alkylcarboxylate-PPI derivatives to increase the number of surface primary amines. Physicochemical properties of modified PPIs were determined. Transfection expe...

New guanidine-derived superbases with TBD-functionalized alkyl side chains have been developed using a computational DFT approach. Exploiting the high hydrogen bond basicity of TBD allowed access to systems with strong charge-assisted intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the protonated state. The enhanced stability of such guanidines is mirrored in their gas-phase basicities, which cover the range ...
