  • Publication number: 20210402009
    Abstract: A carbon nanotube composite vector having a synergistic effect of photothermal therapy and gene therapy, a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof. The vector includes a vector moiety and a gene, and the vector moiety includes carbon nanotubes, a peptide lipid, and/or an additive. A modifier is immobilized on the carbon nanotubes by a self-assembly process to prepare the composite vector that can carry and transfer the gene. The composite vector overcomes the problems that pure carbon nanotubes have poor water solubility, low biocompatibility, and poor gene carrying and transfer efficiency; moreover, the composite vector has higher photothermal conversion performances and gene transfer efficiency, reduces cytotoxicity of carbon nanotubes, and alleviates the problem of localized accumulation of carbon nanotubes. The synergistic effect of photothermal therapy and gene therapy is applied to resolve the problem in tumor treatment that the efficacy of a single treatment method is poor.

  • Patent number: 10294199
    Abstract: A class of propyl cationic peptide lipids is propyl cationic peptide lipid compounds having a general formula structure as follows. After the propyl cationic peptide lipids are dispersed in water, a cationic liposome with a particle size of approximately 100 nm is obtained. The cationic liposome can carry plasmid DNA (pDNA) or small interfering RNA (siRNA) into cells to realize the function of gene delivery, and is almost non-toxic to the cells.

  • Patent number: 10279050
    Abstract: The invention provides a class of sucrose ester based cationic lipids and preparation method thereof. The vector prepared using the cationic lipid can be used to deliver nucleic acid. The sucrose ester based cationic lipid is prepared by using a chemical synthesis method in the invention, wherein the synthesis method is simple, and has a relatively high product yield. A composition, including suspension, emulsion, micelle and liposome and the like, can be prepared by mixing the sucrose ester based cationic lipid compound of the invention with a co-lipid. Sucrose ester based cationic lipid complex can be prepared by using the said composition and nucleic acid, which has advantages such as simple preparation, low toxicity and high transfection efficiency, and is a novel and highly efficient gene vector.
