Water-soluble liposomes and lipopeptides for nucleic acid delivery

Summary

Water-soluble lipopolymers and lipopeptides are a class of nonviral gene vectors that combine the increased permeability of lipid materials to cell membranes by D N A with the condensation and merging of polycations with D N A to promote gene escape in introns. Lipid macromolecules were prepared by the chemical reaction of cholesteryl acetate chloroformate with primary or secondary amines of branched polyethyleneimine (P E I ) with a molecular mass of 1800 D a . Lipopeptides were prepared by mixing C K i V -succinimidyl)-iV, N , A T , J V -tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (T S T U ) with struvitecholic acid in the presence of an excess of diisopropylethylamine (D I P E A ) and reacting it with peptides derived from human fish spermatoglycerin. The use of P E I with a molecular mass of 1800 D a is intended to avoid toxicity caused by high molecular mass P E I . Author: T. Friedman et al., Translated by W. Jing et al.

METHODOLOGY

Synthesis and characterization of water-soluble lipopolymers

1 . 3 g of PEI (1800D a) was dissolved with IOOmI triethylamine in IOml anhydrous dichloromethane and stirred in an ice bath for 30 min.

2. I g of cholesteryl chloroformate was dissolved in 5 ml of cold dichloromethane, slowly added to the above solution of PEI, and stirred in an ice-water bath for 12 h. The product was dried, dissolved in 50 ml of 0.1mol/L HCl solution, and filtered.

3. Extract the above aqueous solution with 100 ml of dichloromethane and filter, concentrate the filtrate, precipitate in a large amount of acetone, dry. Wash with methanol and ether.

4 . The molecular mass of the product was verified by MALDI-T0 F , using trans-4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid as substrate. The structure was verified by 1 H NMR. The water-soluble lipopolymers can be stored at 1 20°C for 6 months.
