Polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified cationic niosomes were used to improve the stability and cellular delivery of oligonucleotides (OND). PEGylated cationic niosomes, composed of DC-Chol, PEG2000-DSPE and the non-ionic surfactant-Span, offer some advantages as gene carriers. Complexes of PEGylated cationic niosomes and OND showed a neutral zeta potential with particle size about 300 nm. PEG-modification significantly decreased the binding of serum protein and prevented particle aggregation in serum. The loaded nuclear acid drug exhibited increased resistance to serum nuclease. Compared with cationic niosomes, the PEGylated niosomes showed a higher efficiency of OND cellular uptake in serum. Therefore, in terms of their stable physiochemical properties in storage and physiological environment, as well as low-cost and widely available materials, PEGylated cationic niosomes are promising drug delivery systems for improved OND potency in vivo.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers.
