Carbohydrate mediated drug delivery: Synthesis and characterization of new lipid-conjugates
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new synthetic methodology for cationic glycolipids using p-aminophenyl-α-D-mannopyranoside (PAPM) and p-aminophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside (PAPG) with spacer in between the quaternary nitrogen atom and the sugar unit is developed. In addition, a new class of neutral glycolipid conjugates, such as PAPM-lipids or PAPG-lipids conjugates was also synthesized for targeting drugs to receptors. The precipitation-inhibition assay showed that conjugate of PAPM inhibited the concanavalin A and invertase aggregation. This binding inhibition study of a synthesized compound suggests that conjugates of PAPM can be potentially used to target mannose receptors. In addition, a higher transfection was obtained by mixing PAPM with pSV-β-gal reporter gene and incubating with mannose binding protein/receptor expressing A549 cells. The coexistence of both mannose group and a net positive charge may result in improved transfection efficiency in cells expressing mannose binding proteins/receptors.

Carvacrol is one of the main components of the EO of some Labiatae (Laminaceae) members like oregano, thyme and savory. Carvacrol has a lot of health benefits for example, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity.We synthesized some silicon derivatives of carvacrol, and characterized them by standard methods. Then the monomer of dimethylvinylsilyl carvacrol was synthesized. Copolymer of this mon...
متن کاملDNA-binding transferrin conjugates as functional gene-delivery agents: synthesis by linkage of polylysine or ethidium homodimer to the transferrin carbohydrate moiety.
We have previously demonstrated that transferrin-polycation conjugates are efficient carrier molecules for the introduction of genes into eukaryotic cells. We describe here a more specific method for conjugation of transferrin with DNA-binding compounds involving attachment at the transferrin carbohydrate moiety. We used the polycation poly(L-lysine) or the DNA intercalator, ethidium homodimer ...
