Nucleic acid-based therapeutics such as siRNA and miRNA employ the silencing capabilities of the RNAi mechanism to affect the expression of one gene or several genes in target cells. Nucleic acid-based therapies enable accurate, targeted administration and overcoming drug resistance in diverse cancer cells. Several studies have shown that they can be utilized alongside pharmacological therapy to increase the efficacy of existing therapies. In addition, nucleic acid-based therapies have the potential to widen the spectrum of druggable targets for a range of diseases and emerge as a novel therapeutic technique for treating a number of diseases that are today untreatable. Nucleic acids are dependent on their effective distribution to target cells, which need correct complexation and encapsulation in a delivery mechanism. Although nucleic acids exist in a variety of forms and sizes, their physical and chemical commonality allow them to be loaded into a wide range of delivery vehicles. The primary biomaterials used to encapsulate genetic components were cationic lipids and polymers. Furthermore, the experiments focused particularly on effective transfection in target cells.Recent breakthroughs in NP-based RNA therapeutics have spurred a flood of clinical research, facing many challenges. In vivo, pharmacokinetics of different RNA-based medications must be researched to establish the viability and therapeutic potential of nucleic acid-based therapeutics. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently authorized many NP-based gene therapy. In 2019, Novartis authorized Zolgensma (onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi) to treat spinal muscle atrophy. The first clinical research employing siRNA began in 2004 and is considered a milestone in nucleic acid-based drug development. Thirty clinical investigations have subsequently been completed. In 2018, the US FDA cleared Onpattro (Patisiran, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals) for the treatment of polyneuropathy caused by transthyretin amyloidosis.Several new generations of nucleic acid compositions employing polymer nanoparticles or liposomes are presently undergoing clinical testing. If allowed, the debut of nucleic acid-based treatments would represent a watershed event in immunotherapy. Advances in the design and development of biocompatible nanomaterials would allow us to overcome the above-mentioned problems and so show the potential to deliver nucleic acids in the treatment of a number of illnesses.

The field of gene therapy has experienced an insurgence of attention for its widespread ability to regulate gene expression by targeting genomic DNA, messenger RNA, microRNA, and short-interfering RNA for treating malignant and non-malignant disorders. Numerous nucleic acid analogs have been developed to target coding or non-coding sequences of the human genome for gene regulation. However, broader clinical applications of nucleic acid analogs have been limited due to their poor cell or organ-specific delivery. To resolve these issues, non-viral vectors based on nanoparticles, liposomes, and polyplexes have been developed to date. This review is centered on non-viral vectors mainly comprising of cationic lipids and polymers for nucleic acid-based delivery for numerous gene therapy-based applications.
