Abstract |
Drugs with novel and versatile modes of action, such as therapeutic nucleic acids or proteins, open new possibilities for the precise therapy of different diseases. The most crucial limitation during the development of a therapeutic drug remains the safe and efficient intracellular delivery.To overcome the hurdles and to realize the successful delivery of such new biopharmaceuticals, our laboratory has recently developed a sequence-defined, cationic oligomer platform based on solid-phase synthesis. These multifunctional oligomers have displayed efficient delivery of therapeutic RNA in vitro and in vivo. In this chapter, we provide a brief background on the special features and applications of these carrier systems as well as detailed protocols for the oligomer and polyplex synthesis and their evaluation. |
