In this report, a series of polycations are designed and synthesized by conjugating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive thioacetal-linkers to low molecular weight (LMW) polyethylenimine (PEI) via ring-opening polymerization. Their structure–activity relationships (SARs) as gene delivery vectors are systematically studied. Although the MWs of the target polymers are only ~9 KDa, they show good DNA binding ability. The formed polyplexes, which are stable toward serum but decomposed under ROS-conditions, have appropriate sizes (180~300 nm) and positive zeta-potentials (+35~50 mV). In vitro experiments reveal that these materials have low cytotoxicity, and higher transfection efficiency (TE) than controls. Furthermore, the title polymers exhibit excellent serum tolerance. With the present of 10% serum, the TE of the polymers even increases up to 10 times higher than 25 KDa PEI and 9 times higher than Lipofectamine 2000. The SAR studies also reveal that electron-withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring in 4a may benefit to balance between the DNA condensation and release for efficient gene transfection.

Lipid-based formulations have been used as a widespread carrier to improve gene delivery. Niosomes, one type of lipid-based vesicular systems are produced from non-ionic surfactants which are generally inexpensive and potentially more stable than phospholipids. This article was to develop PEGylated cationic niosomes for DNA delivery. Thin film hydration and sonication method were applied for cationic niosomes. The niosome formulations were composed of Span 20, cholesterol (Chol) and plier-like cationic lipid B (PCL-B) with or without cholesterol-polyethylene glycol 2000 (Chol-PEG). The physicochemical properties of cationic niosomes and nioplexes were evaluated including particle size, zeta potential, DNA condensation and serum protection. The transfection efficiency and cell viability were examined in HeLa cells. The particle size and surface charge of PEGylated cationic niosome containing Span 20: Chol: PCL-B: Chol-PEG at the molar ratio of 2.5: 2.5: 1.5: 0.14 (N-PEG2) were 129.47 ± 2.15 nm and 25.93 ± 4.18 mV, respectively. These PEGylated cationic niosomes could condense pDNA into the nanosize particles and also enhance the serum protection ability for at least 6 h. Moreover, N-PEG2 exhibited high transfection efficiency in comparison with lipofectamine® 2000 and low cytotoxicity. Therefore, the novel PEGylated cationic niosomes have the capability to develop as a promising potential carrier for DNA delivery.
