The invention relates to hyperbranched
polyamino acid. The
chemical composition is as follows: in the formula of (Lys-)a-(-Arg-)b-(-His-)c-(-X)d, Lys, Arg and His are respectively
lysine,
arginine and
histidine, X is one of or a plurality of any amino acids except for the amino acids above, wherein a is not less than 0.2 and not more than 0.95, b is not less than 0 and not more than 0.8, c is not less than 0 and not more than 0.8, d is not less than 0 and not more than 0.3, and the sum of a, b, c and d is 1. The preparation method is as follows: uniformly mixing
lysine or
lysine salt with other amino acids or the
amino acid salts contained in the hyperbranched
polyamino acid to react for 2-64h at the temperature of 130-180 DEG C and then obtain yellow
solid, and finally purifying the coarse product with a
precipitation method to obtain the hyperbranched
polyamino acid. The hyperbranched polyamino acid obtained in the invention can be used as nonviral
gene carrier for the transduction of huamn or animal
cell gene, and the hyperbranched polyamino acid nonviral
gene carrier provided by the invention is reasonable in design, simple in preparation method, high in
transfection efficiency, low
cytotoxicity and favorable transduction efficiency in the presence of
blood serum.
