Abstract

Nucleic acid medicines (e.g. RNAi, antisense etc.) have increasingly become a powerful tool for genetic analysis and are likely to become a potent therapeutic approach for intractable diseases. However, the major obstacle to use them as therapeutics is the difficulty of in vivo delivery. Though cationic comb-type polymer having HA side chains has used for site-specific delivery of plasmid DNA into liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) effectively, it has less binding ability to short nucleic acid such as siRNAs and antisense DNA. Therefore we introduced guanidino moieties into PLL main chains to enhance the binding affinity.
