Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Block copolymers that include one or more galactose based blocks and one or more cationic blocks; polyplexes including disclosed block copolymers and one or more nucleic acids; and methods of delivering a nucleic acid to a cell which can include delivering a polyplex to the cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A block copolymer comprising: one or more N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based blocks; and one or more cationic blocks. 2. The block copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more cationic blocks comprise aminoethylmethacrylamide (AEMA), 3-guanidinopropyl methacrylamide (GPMA), or combinations thereof. 3. The block copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based block comprises methacrylamido N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (MAGalNAc). 4. The block copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein there are at least 10 repeating units of the cationic block. 5. The block copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein there are at least 30 repeating units of the cationic block. 6. The block copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein there are at least 40 repeating units of the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based block. 7. The block copolymer according to claim 1 , wherein there are at least 60 repeating units of the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based block. 8. A polyplex comprising: a block copolymer comprising: one or more N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based blocks; and one or more cationic blocks; and one or more nucleic acids. 9. The polyplex according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more cationic blocks comprise aminoethylmethacrylamide (AEMA), 3-guanidinopropyl methacrylamide (GPMA), or combinations thereof. 10. The polyplex according to claim 8 , wherein the one or more N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based block comprises methacrylamido N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (MAGalNAc). 11. The polyplex according to claim 8 , wherein there are at least 10 repeating units of the cationic block. 12. The polyplex according to claim 8 , wherein there are at least 40 repeating units of the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based block. 13. A method of delivering a nucleic acid to a cell, the method comprising: delivering a polyplex to a cell, the polyplex comprising: a block copolymer comprising: one or more N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based blocks; and one or more cationic blocks; and one or more nucleic acids. 14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the one or more cationic blocks comprise aminoethylmethacrylamide (AEMA), 3-guanidinopropyl methacrylamide (GPMA), or combinations thereof. 15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the one or more N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based block comprises methacrylamido N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (MAGalNAc). 16. The method according to claim 13 , wherein there are at least 10 repeating units of the cationic block. 17. The method according to claim 13 , wherein there are at least 40 repeating units of the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GNA) based block.
