摘要: Abstract Chitosan has gained increasing interest for siRNA delivery. Although chitosan covers a family of structurally different polysaccharides, most delivery studies have been performed with conventional partially N -acetylated chitosans. Herein, the purpose was to identify fundamental molecular properties favoring and efficient gene silencing in mammalian cells. Nanoparticles were prepared from well-defined chitosans various chemical compositions, degrees polymerization (DP n ) chain architectures. Structure-activity relationships determined by cellular uptake knockdown efficiency at mRNA protein levels. Additionally, nanoparticle cytotoxicity evaluated on basis metabolic activity membrane integrity. Our results show that achieved using fully de- intermediate lengths 100–300). These mediated low concentrations and, several cell lines, potent long-term both exogenous endogenous target genes, minimal cytotoxicity.
