Acyclic Cucurbit[n]uril Dendrimers.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of acyclic cucurbit[n]uril dendrimers G1-G3 that bear four dendrons on their aromatic sidewalls via thiolate S(N)2 chemistry is reported. G1-G3 are polycationic and can bind to pEGFP plasmid DNA as shown by dynamic light scattering (DLS), gel electrophoresis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The gene delivery ability of G1-G3 is presented.
