[0004] Sung Wan Kim et al. of the University of Utah published "Polyethyleneimine with acid-labile linkages as a biodegradable gene carrier" in the Journal of Controlled Release (Journal of Controlled Release 2005,103:209-219) Carrier) article, which uses glutaraldehyde as a linker to cross-link with low molecular weight PEI (1800Da) to generate characteristic degradable polyethyleneimines containing imine bonds. The structural characteristics of this class are: After the complex formed by the gene is taken up by the cell, under the acidic conditions of the endosome and lysosome of the condensed gene in the cell, the imine bond directly connected with the low molecular weight PEI is broken, and a non-cytotoxic low-weight PEI is generated. , but the polymeric structure containing imine bonds cannot ensure that the nucleic acid carried is stable enough before entering the cell, and its transfection activity is also average (compared to PEI25KDa)
[0005] Jin et al. applied for a PCT patent (WO2009 / 100645A1) entitled "Polycationic gene carriers formed of endogenous amino group-bearing monomers" (endogenous amino group monomers formed of polycationic gene carriers), which used The small molecular monomer spermine of human endogenous full-time professional condensation gene is condensed with three linking agents such as 1,4-butanediol dichloroformate, 1,4-succinoyl chloride and glyoxal, respectively, to obtain Polyspermine cations such as urethane bonds, amide bonds, and imine bonds, which exhibit good nucleic acid delivery capabilities, and the polymer can return to the initial state of spermine endogenous monomers through bioresponsive degradation, specifically It is characterized by good biocompatibility, but the defect of this technology is: the degradation rate of urethane bonds and amide bonds is relatively slow, resulting in the inability of nucleic acid substances to escape from endosomes in time, which affects the efficiency of nucleic acid delivery; The degradation rate is relatively fast, but the instability of the carrier causes the nucleic acid material delivered by it to be released from the extracellular space before reaching the cytoplasm, and the transfection efficiency is greatly reduced

Compared with the prior art, the nucleic acid substance carrier which contains an imine linkage structure and can degrade low-molecular-weight PEI (polyether imide) derivatives is simple in structure and easy to synthesize, shows higher transfection activity in different cell strains and has lower cell toxicity, so that the nucleic acid substance carrier is a high-efficiency and low-toxicity gene delivery carrier.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a carrier of low molecular weight PEI derivative nucleic acid material containing degradable imine bond, its preparation method, application and complex in the delivery of nucleic acid drugs (DNA and RNA). Background technique [0002] Gene therapy is to introduce exogenous genetic material (DNA or RNA) into cells to promote or inhibit the expression of specific proteins, or replace or repair problematic genes, so as to achieve the purpose of disease treatment. Gene therapy has encountered a series of technical bottlenecks in its development. One of the most important bottlenecks is the safe and effective delivery of genetic materials in vivo. [0003] Currently commonly used gene delivery vectors can be divided into viral vectors and non-viral vectors. Although viral vectors have high transfection efficiency, their mutations can cause potential disease hazards, and the surface components of the virus can cause human immune r...
