Problems solved by technology

However, the high charge density of homopolymer PEI also restricts its further clinical application. Its high charge density can lead to great cytotoxicity, and at the same time cause it to be too close to the nanoparticles formed by electrostatic attraction with genetic material. Cells cannot effectively transfer genetic material to the cytoplasm and nucleus in the future, limiting their ability to achieve better gene transfection efficiency

Abstract

The invention provides a thiourea modified polyethyleneimine copolymer which is shown in a formula (I) or a formula (II). The preparation method comprises the following step: under an anhydrous condition, reacting polyethyleneimine shown in the formula (I) or the formula (II) with a compound shown in a formula (III) in an organic solvent to obtain the thiourea modified polyethyleneimine copolymer which is shown in the formula (I) or the formula (II). Due to introduction of the thiourea structure, the polyethyleneimine copolymer has low electric density, so that the cytotoxicity caused by high electric density of polyethyleneimine is reduced, and the biocompatibility is good. Meanwhile, the thiourea modified polyethyleneimine copolymer used as a gene carrier can interact with generic matters through non-charge attracted hydrogen bonds. The nanoparticles formed are slightly slack in structure. After entering cells, the nanoparticles can more effectively release the generic matters into cytoplasm and cell nucleus, so that the transfection efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of polymer copolymers, in particular to a thiourea-modified polyethyleneimine copolymer and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the completion of the Human Genome Project and the advancement of molecular biology, it has gradually become possible for humans to treat diseases at the molecular level. As a candidate for next-generation drugs, gene medicine has begun to show its promise in the treatment of tumors, tissue engineering and other gene-related diseases. In order to achieve high-efficiency gene therapy, it is necessary to use high-efficiency and low-toxicity gene carriers. Viral gene carriers (including retrovirus, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, herpes simplex virus, vaccinia virus, etc.) Death and adverse consequences such as the French "bubble baby" incident. In contrast, artificially synthesized cationic polymer-based gene carriers have the advantages of higher safety, no ...
