Synthesis and evaluation of mono- and multi-hydroxyl low toxicity pH-sensitive cationic lipids for drug delivery
摘要:
Cationic lipids can easily assemble into spherical liposomes in aqueous phase which showed unique superiority in drug and gene delivery. However, the toxicity of cationic lipids is still an obstacle to application. To develop low toxicity cationic lipids, we designed two cationic lipids contained different number of hydroxyl groups. Biocompatible mono-hydroxyl and multi-hydroxyl galactose head group was respectively modified to a biodegradable quaternary amine lipid, and two novel hydroxyl cationic lipids were synthesized and characterized by MS, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR. Two lipids showed good surface activity and both of them can assemble to about 80 nm stable small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) with cholesterol in aqueous phase. Both of lipids showed relatively lower toxicity than the well-known cationic lipid 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP). In vitro 24 h IC50, of two assemblies were more than 50 mu g/mL, which were about 10 mu g/mL higher than the IC50, of DOTAP. Multi-hydroxyl galactose lipids group showed much lower toxicity than mono-hydroxyl lipids group. Moreover, Both of the assemblies with lower hemolysis were nearly non-hemolytic risk under the concentration of 30 mu g/mL. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed that the average sizes of both doxorubicin (DOX) loaded liposomes were about 110 nm. The DOX entrapment efficiencies of galactose liposome and mono-hydroxyl liposome were 58% and 91%, respectively. Both of the DOX loaded liposomes were stable after one month placed at room temperature. Two DOX loaded liposomes showed better anti-cancer effect than free DOX above 5 mu g/mL, and they can be internalized into cells and produce more release of DOX inside MCF-7 cells and HepG2 cells at pH 5.0. These results suggested that synthesized lipids are suitable as potential low toxicity cationic drug delivery systems.

Two double chain cationiclipids QAS Cn‐2‐S (n = 12, 14) derivedfromthiogalactose and carbamate‐linkage tertiary amine were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by MS, TOF‐MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. The QAS C12‐2‐S revealed superior surface activity compared with QAS C14‐2‐S with lower CMC and γCMC. Though Lipo C12‐2‐S displayed large average particle‐size with high polydispersity, positive

Synthesis and Characterization of Carbamate‐Linked Cationic Lipids with Hydroxyethyl Group
AbstractA series of cationic lipids with a carbamate linkage and a hydroxyethyl head group were designed and synthesized for gene delivery. All of the products were characterized by 1H NMR and MS. Cationic liposomes were prepared using the cationic lipid and the liposome states were studied by TEM and Nano Particle Size and Potential Analyzer. Liposomes were approximately spherical structures, the mean diameter was about 150 nm, the zeta‐potential was about 40 mV.
