Synthesis and delivery activity of new cationic cholesteryl glucosides
摘要:
Cholesterol amphiphiles containing positively charged groups (pyridinium, N-methylimidazolium, N-methylmorpholinium, and N-methylpiperidinium) linked via beta-glucosyl spacer were prepared by alkylation of the corresponding bases with 6-O-mesyl-beta-D-cholesteryl glucopyranoside. IC50 values were in the range 20-35 mu M for the series of compounds and liposomal formulations with DOPE (1:1) were significantly less toxic. The liposomal formulations provided the accumulation of FITC-labeled oligonucleotide in cells, and the efficiency of this process was comparable to that of Lipofectamine (R) 2000. Cationic liposomes were able to deliver siRNA into the cells, and the liposomal formulation 7d/DOPE provided the most pronounced down-regulation of EGFP expression both in the presence and in the absence of serum (up to 30%). 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
