  • Publication number: 20100113559
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a conjugate of chitosan and polyamine polymer that is useful for transferring a desired gene medicine into cells, and a method for preparing the same. In particular, the present invention relates to a double conjugate that is prepared by 1 in king poly-L-arginine to low molecular weight chitosan or triple conjugate that is prepared by additionally linking polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the double conjugate, and a method for preparing the same. The chitosan based cationic polymer conjugate of the present invention forms a complex with negatively charged gene medicine such as plasmid DNA and small interfering RNA to efficiently transfer the desired gene medicine into cells with low cytotoxicity. Accordingly, the conjugate can be used as an effective delivery system for in vivo administration of gene medicine.

  • Publication number: 20100062051
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for the treatment of cervix cancer, more precisely a composition for the treatment of cervix cancer comprising the first active part containing human papilloma virus (referred as “HPV” hereinafter) specific siRNA as an active ingredient and the second active part containing an anticancer agent as an active ingredient. The composition for the treatment of cancer of the present invention has better anticancer effect than the single therapy of the HPV specific siRNA or the anticancer agent, and has an advantage of reducing side effects by using the anticancer agent at a low concentration.

  • Publication number: 20090081282
    Abstract: The present invention provides a small interfering RNA (siRNA) that is capable of inhibiting intracellular expression of Wnt1 through complementary binding to a Wnt1 transcript (mRNA transcript) base sequence and a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer comprising the same. siRNA of the present invention which is complementary to a base sequence of a Wnt1 transcript (mRNA) provides apoptotic cancer cell death due to inhibition of expression of Wnt1 commonly expressed in cancer cells, by RNA-mediated interference (RNAi). Therefore, the composition of the present invention comprising the same can be used as an excellent anticancer drug.
