Synthesis and Characterization of Poly (β-amino Ester) and Applied PEGylated and Non-PEGylated Poly (β-amino ester)/Plasmid DNA Nanoparticles for Efficient Gene Delivery.

ABSTRACT: Polymer-based nanocarriers require extensive knowledge of their chemistries to learn functionalization strategies and understand the nature of interactions that they establish with biological entities. In this research, the poly (β-amino ester) (PβAE-447) was synthesized and characterized, aimed to identify the influence of some key parameters in the formulation process. Initially; PβAE-447 was characterized for aqueous solubility, swelling capacity, proton buffering ability, and cytotoxicity study before nanoparticles formulation. Interestingly, the polymer-supported higher cell viability than the Polyethylenimine (PEI) at 100 μg/ml. PβAE-447 complexed with GFP encoded plasmid DNA (pGFP) generated nanocarriers of 184 nm hydrodynamic radius (+7.42 mV Zeta potential) for cell transfection.
