摘要

Poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) (PiPOx) is a functional polymer showing great potential for the development of smart biomaterials. The straightforward synthesis and post-polymerization functionalization of PiPOx offers many opportunities for tailoring the properties of the polymer towards biomaterials. In this study we report for the first time PiPOx-based cationic charged polymethacrylamides with amino acid side chains that can complex siRNA and promote transfection in vitro. Therefore, PiPOx was fully modified via ring opening addition reactions with the carboxylic acid groups of a series of N-Boc-L-amino acids and their reaction kinetics were investigated. Based on the determined kinetic constants, another series of PiPOx-based copolymers with balanced hydrophilic/hydrophobic content of N-Boc-L-amino acids were obtained via one-pot modification reaction with two different N-Boc-L-amino acids. The N-Boc protected homopolymers and related copolymers were deprotected to obtain (co)polymers with the targeted side chain cationic charged units. The (co)polymers' structures were fully investigated via FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and TGA-DSC-MS analysis. The polarimetry measurements revealed that the homopolymers retain their chiroptical properties after post-modification, and a sign inversion is noticed from (L) N-Boc-protected analogues to (D) for the TFA cationic charged homopolymers. Generally, cationically charged homopolymers with hydrophilic amino acids on the side chain showed efficient complexation of siRNA, but poor transfection while cationic copolymers having both tryptophan and valine or proline side chains revealed moderate siRNA binding, high transfection efficiency (> 90% of the cells) and potent gene silencing with IC50 values down to 5.5 nM. Particularly, these cationic copolymers showed higher gene silencing potency as compared to the commercial JetPRIME® reference, without reducing cell viability in the concentration range used for transfection, making this a very interesting system for in vitro siRNA transfection.
