제목 Synthesis of PEG-b-Poly(L-lysine-co-L-Phenylalanine)s Conjugated with L-Arginine and Histidine as a Non-viral Gene Delivery Vector
초록 Natural and synthetic polycations displaying non-pathogenic and non-immunogenic properties have been employed as non-viral vectors for gene delivery due to the safety concerns. The main obstacle in gene therapy is the development of efficient, non-toxic delivery carriers, which effectively transport DNA inside the cell nucleus of the target. Lysine based amino acid copolymers containing 30 molar % of phenylalanine residues were prepared with α-methoxy-ω-aminopoly(ethylene glycol) block at one end. Primary amino groups in the side chain of lysine residues were conjugated with L-arginine in almost quantitative yields. PEG-b-Poly(L-lysine-co-L-Phenylalanine)s conjugated with histidine derivatives were also prepared and their transfection efficiency as well as cytotoxicity were tested to investigate the role of the copolymers as an endosomal escape moieties. Obtained copolymers were applied as a gene delivery carrier and the selective targeted delivery to the neuron cells were tested.
