β¦ Synopsis
Bifunctional cationic compound carrying trivalent galactosides as the cell targeting ligand and DAB-dendr-(NH 2 ) 8 (generation 2.0) as the DNA binding domain was synthesized for gene delivery to hepatocytes. DAB-dendr-(NH 2 ) 4 (generation 1.0) conjugated with a hydrocarbon chain was used as a scaffold for the attachment of three galactosides, while the other hydrocarbon end was linked with DAB-dendr-(NH 2 ) 8 (generation 2.0) through a carbamate bond. This design provided an effective entry for the synthesis of a polyamine compound having the cell targeting galactosyl ligand. Preliminary in vitro transfection results demonstrated that the bifunctional cationic compound could effectively deliver the gene into HepG2 cells.
