Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure relates to block copolymer nanoparticles for in vivo therapeutic delivery, and methods therefor. More particularly, the invention relates to polymer nanoparticles, such as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymer compositions, for delivering nucleotides that encode polypeptides.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A block copolymer comprising a first block and a second block, wherein (i) the first block comprises poly-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA); and (ii) the second block comprises a copolymer of butylmethacrylate (BMA) and vinylmethacrylate (VMA). 2 . A polymer nanoparticle comprising: a block copolymer according claim 1 , wherein the nanoparticle has a hydrodynamic diameter of about 10 nm to about 1000 nm. 3 . The polymer nanoparticle of claim 2 , wherein the nanoparticle has a hydrodynamic diameter of about 10 nm to about 500 nm. 4 . A composition comprising: a polymer nanoparticle according to claim 2 , and a nucleic acid complexed to the polymer nanoparticle. 5 . The composition of claim 4 , wherein the nucleic acid encodes an antibody. 6 . A method of treating a disease in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition according to claim 4 . 7 . The block copolymer of claim 1 , wherein the second block comprises about 20 to about 80 mol % BMA. 8 . The block copolymer of claim 1 , wherein the first block homopolymer has a molecular weight of at least about 20,000 Da.
