A series of novel lipids with designed functionalities were synthesized. These lipids are based on conjugation of alpha-amino acids and their esters, cationic, anionic, neutral, and photochromic moieties to the lipophilic 9-cis octadecenyl chains by amide, ester, thioester, or amine bonds. Because of the plasticity of lipidic cubic phases, it is envisaged that when mixed with monooleoyl-rac-glycerol (monoolein, MO) and water at appropriate proportions, they would assemble to form bicontinuous lipidic cubic phases (LCPs) that exhibit the well-known material properties of LCPs such as phase stability, optical transparency, and chemical permeability. Moreover, due to the nature and position of the functionality at the headgroup region, we envision them to perform as functional materials by design.

Safe and efficient in vitro and in vivogene delivery: tripodal cationic lipids with programmed biodegradability
The therapeutic use of nucleic acids has long been heralded as a panacea of medicinal opportunity, a vision enhanced by the introduction of RNA interference technology. The Achilles heel of such an approach is the in vivo delivery of the desired nucleic acid into cells, a practice that lacks selectivity, safety and/or efficiency. Herein we report the safe and efficacious in vitro and in vivo delivery of nucleic acids using tripodal biodegradable cationic lipids. Toxicity reduction and transfection potency of these novel amphiphiles were addressed by designing the compounds to undergo complete intracellular degradation thereby enhancing cargo release while minimising toxicity and potential tissue accumulation. Compounds demonstrated high-efficiency in transfecting DNA into cells both in vitro and in vivo with no signs of toxicity, thus potentially offering a safer alternative to viral transfection for gene therapy application.
