technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a dopamine functionalized poly(β-amino ester) and its preparation method and application. Background technique
[0002] Interfering RNA (RNAi) is a naturally occurring cellular mechanism that culminates in the knockdown of specific genes. Targeted gene knockdown delivered by siRNA has potential clinical utility in treating diseases caused by abnormal gene expression. However, safe and efficient intracellular siRNA delivery remains challenging. Current studies have used the carrier materials (liposomes, inorganic materials and polymers) that can deliver DNA to deliver siRNA. Two major delivery hurdles unique to siRNA are: nanoparticle stability and cytoplasmic targeting. Since siRNA is approximately 200 times smaller than DNA plasmids and relatively rigid, it has low electrostatic interactions with cationic polymers, hindering the self-assembly of the two to form stable and small-s...
