Distance of Hydroxyl Functionality from the Quaternized Center Influence DNA Binding and in Vitro Gene Delivery Efficacies of Cationic Lipids with Hydroxyalkyl Headgroups
摘要:
In vitro gene delivery efficacies of cationic amphiphiles 1-7 (Scheme 1) were measured by both the reporter gene expression assays in CHO, COS-1, HepG2, and MCF7 cells and by the whole cell histochemical X-gal staining of representative Chinese hamster ovary cells. Our results demonstrated that in vitro gene delivery efficiencies of cationic lipids with hydroxyalkyl headgroups are adversely affected by increased covalent distances between the hydroxyl functionality and the cationic centers. Findings in the DNase I protection experiments and transmission electron microscopic study support the notion that such compromised gene delivery efficacies may originate from poor lipid-DNA binding interactions and significantly increased lipoplex nanosizes.

precipitate. The pyrazolesurfactants on the other hand do not form vesicles but give, with one molar equivalent of HCl, water-insoluble stacked bilayers. The pyrazole moieties in these stacked bilayers do not coordinate copper(II) ions. This behaviour is most probably due to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond in the mono-protonated pyrazolesurfactant molecule. The imidazolesurfactants cannot
