TACN-based oligomers with aromatic backbones for efficient nucleic acid delivery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cationic oligomers with a rigid aromatic backbone were first applied as non-viral gene delivery vectors. These materials showed better DNA condensation ability than their flexible analogues. In vitro transfection experiments revealed that the materials with more rigid backbone exhibited considerably higher TE and lower cytotoxicity than 25 kDa PEI.

Background: Non-viral Nano carriers such as liposomes and cationic polymers based on engineered properties are regarded in gene delivery field. Although these carriers do not have weaknesses of viral vectors, but they are less efficient than viruses and they still need to be improved as favorable gene delivery carriers. Amongst non-viral carriers, cationic liposomes have been proposed for clini...
متن کاملAntisense properties of peptide nucleic acids.
PNA is a nucleic acid analog with an achiral polyamide backbone consisting of N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units (figure 1). The purine or pyrimidine bases are linked to the each unit via a methylene carbonyl linker (1-3) to target the complementary nucleic acid (4). PNA binds to complementary RNA or DNA in a parallel or antiparallel orientation following the Watson-Crick base-pairing rules (5-7). T...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cell Penetrating Peptide Delivery System on HPV16E7 Expression in Three Types of Cell Line
Background: The poor permeability of the plasma and nuclear membranes to DNA plasmids are two major barriers for the development of these therapeutic molecules. Therefore, success in gene therapy approaches depends on the development of efficient and safe non-viral delivery systems. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro delivery of plasmid DNA encoding HPV16 E7 gene...
متن کاملBackbone modifications of aromatic peptide nucleic acid (APNA ) monomers and their hybridization properties with DNA and RNA.
Aromatic peptide nucleic acid (APNA) monomers containing N-(2-aminobenzyl)-glycine, N-(2-aminobenzyl)-(R)- or -(S)-alanine, and N-(2-aminobenzyl)-beta-alanine moieties as part of their backbone were synthesized. These novel analogues were incorporated as a single "point mutation" in PNA hexamers, and their physicochemical properties were investigated by UV thermal denaturation and CD experiment...
متن کاملEfficient access to conjugated 4,4'-bipyridinium oligomers using the Zincke reaction: synthesis, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties.
The cyclocondensation reaction between rigid, electron-rich aromatic diamines and 1,1'-bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium (Zincke) salts has been harnessed to produce a series of conjugated oligomers containing up to twelve aromatic/heterocyclic residues. These oligomers exhibit discrete, multiple redox processes accompanied by dramatic changes in electronic absorption spectra.
