Abstract
We report a new class of amphiphilic gemini surfactants as vehicles for gene delivery into cells, and the beginnings of a systematic structure-activity study. Preliminary results suggest that combining gemini surfactants with dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) should allow the preparation of liposomes of various sizes and lipid compositions. Control of such colloidal changes could be as significant as the changes in the molecular composition of the gemini surfactants in delivering optimum gene expression in animal models.Entities:
