The invention relates to the technical field of
gene vectors, in particular to an ionizable comb
polymer as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The comb-shaped
polymer is a block
polymer and comprises at least one block unit, the block unit comprises a first block, a second block and a third block which are connected through covalent bonds, the comb-shaped polymer is high in molecular flexibility and can be easily combined with
nucleic acid substances to form a polymer /
nucleic acid compound, and due to the fact that the structure of the polymer contains glucosidic bonds prone to
intracellular degradation, the molecular weight of the comb-shaped polymer is greatly reduced. Therefore, the
transfection efficiency is relatively high. Meanwhile, a
cell experiment result shows that the polymer /
nucleic acid compound shows relatively
low toxicity to cells and can remarkably improve the
survival rate of the cells compared with
positive control, so that the polymer / nucleic acid compound is expected to be widely applied to
cell transfection. According to the preparation method provided by the invention, the target product is directly prepared by utilizing an oxidation-reduction
amination cascade reaction, a purification process of an
intermediate product of the reaction is not needed, the process is simple, and large-scale production is favorably realized.
