Zinc-chelated imidazole groups for DNA polyion complex formation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This communication presents the pH-dependent chelation of Zn(2+) ions with the imidazole groups of poly(1-vinylimidazole) (PVIm) and DNA polyion complex formation with the zinc-chelated PVIm (PVIm-Zn) via chelated Zn(2+) ions. The resulting PVIm-Zn/DNA complexes exhibit no significant cytotoxicity and show outstanding gene expression.

Screening for Methylated Poly(l-histidine) with Various Dimethylimidazolium/Methylimidazole/Imidazole Contents as DNA Carrier
: Methylated poly(l-histidine) (PLH-Me), our original polypeptide, has controlled the contents of dimethylimidazolium, τ/π-methylimidazole and imidazole groups for efficient gene delivery. The screening for the PLH-Me as DNA carrier has been carried out by use of the PLH with 25 mol% (τ-methyl, 16 mol%; π-methyl, 17 mol%; deprotonated imidazole, 41 mol%), 68 mol% (τ-methyl, 16 mol%; π-methyl, 8...
متن کاملA spectroscopic study on Calf thymus DNA binding properties of nickel (II) complex with imidazole derivatives of 1,10-phenanthroline ligand
In this study, a nickel (II) complex with 1,10-phenanthroline based ligand, [Ni(FIP)2](OAC)2 (1) with FIP = 2-(Furan-2-yl)-1H-Imidazole[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline as ligand was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. The interaction of [Ni(FIP)2](OAC)2 (1) with calf-thymus DNA (ct-DNA) was studied by UV-vis absorption, fluorescence spectroscopies and visc...
متن کاملcatena-Poly[[bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN 3)zinc]-μ-3-nitrophthalato-κ2 O 1:O2]
In the title complex, [Zn(C(8)H(3)NO(6))(C(4)H(6)N(2))(2)](n), the carboxyl-ate groups of the 3-nitro-phthalate dianion ligand coordinate the Zn(II) ion in a bis-monodentate mode. The Zn(II) ion shows distorted tetra-hedral coordination as it is bonded to two O atoms from the carboxyl-ate groups of symmetry-related 3-nitro-phthalate anions and two N atoms of two independent 1-methyl-imidazole m...

BACKGROUND Polymeric micelles attract great attention in drug delivery and therapeutics. Various types of block copolymers have been designed for the application in biomedical fields. If we can introduce additional functional groups to the block copolymers, we can achieve advanced applications. In this regards, we tried to introduce aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIE) unit in the blo...
متن کاملTarget-stimulated metallic HgS nanostructures on a DNA-based polyion complex membrane for highly efficient impedimetric detection of dissolved hydrogen sulfide.
Target-stimulated metallic HgS nanostructures formed on the DNA-based polyion complex (PIC) membrane were for the first time utilized as an efficient scheme for impedimetric detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by coupling insoluble precipitation with sensitivity enhancement.
