| Abstract | To improve the transfection activity and reduce cell cytotoxicity of polycations with antisense oligonucleotide (AON), poly(glycidyl methacrylate)s (PGMAs) were modified with different amines, i.e., methylethylamine (MEA), 2-amino-1-butanol (2-ABO) and 4-amino-1-butanol (4-ABO). The structures of resulting polymers were well characterized and their thermal properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The amino PGMA could self-assemble with AON in a Tris buffer solution, resulting in narrowly distributed polymer/AON complexes with a size of 0.1–0.3 μm at an amine-group-of-polymer/phosphate-group-of-nucleotide ratio (N/P ratio) of 0.5–3. Spherical nanoparticles of the complexes were visualized using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the gel electrophoresis and zeta potential assay evidenced the formation of complexes at relatively low N/P ratios. Stability of the complexes towards dissociation was tested using ethidium bromide displacement assay. Protection of the incorporated AON against DNase I degradation was also evaluated. An increased charge ratio and a synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding in this system contributed to the increased stability of the complex, which prevents the incorporated AON from nuclease degradation. In vitro cytotoxicity experiments on COS-7 cells showed that all amino PGMAs displayed lower toxicity compared to the control PEI25k, except for the polymers with a relatively high molecular weight (30 kDa). In addition, the MEA modified linear and star-shaped PGMA (Mn in the range of 15–20 kDa) as well as 4-ABO modified linear PGMA complexes exhibited higher transfection efficiencies in vitro, compared to PEI25k. These results demonstrated that amino PGMAs with suitable amine groups and molecular weight can be used as safe and efficient AON delivery polymers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
