Solid‐Phase Synthesis of Sequence‐Defined T‐, i‐, and U‐Shape Polymers for pDNA and siRNA Delivery

Abstract

Artificial oligo(ethylene amino) acids, together with selected natural amino acids and fatty acid modifications, have been used for the solid-phase-assisted synthesis of polymers with precise sequence, topology, and modifications (see picture). First proof-of-concept studies demonstrate the high potential of such polymers in pDNA and siRNA delivery. K=lysine, A=alanine.
