Patent number: 7153905Abstract: Hyperbranched dendron (HD) polymers are synthesized using low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (BPEI-L) as a core and used for gene delivery. The obtained polymers display low toxicity and efficient gene delivery at low nitrogen-to-phosphate (N/P) ratios.

The more extensive branching enables the polymer to condense plasmid DNA into nanostructure complexes with a size of less than or equal to about 100 nm. The complexes are stable and efficient in transfecting cells in the presence of serum.

The delivery system is formed either by attaching the active ingredient to a linker through a hydrolyzable covalent bond, then forming a covalent bond between the linker and a portion of the subunits of a cross-linked polymer, or by attaching a linker to a portion of the subunits of a cross-linked polymer, then attaching the active ingredient to the polymer-linker combination through a hydrolyzable covalent bond. The invention also provides a delivery system comprising an active ingredient covalently bonded through a hydrolyzale covalent bond to a linker, which is in turn covalently bonded to a portion of subunits of a cross-linked polymer.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1998Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Monsanto CompanyInventor: Samuel J.

Publication number: 20040210006Abstract: An ultraviolet crosslinking pressure-sensitive adhesive composition showing good pressure-sensitive adhesive characteristics is obtained by using a block copolymer of styrenic polymer component and acrylic polymer component. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is produced by conducting living radical polymerization of styrenic monomer and acrylic monomer in a proper order in the presence of a transition metal and its ligand using a polymerization initiator to obtain a block copolymer (a) wherein at least one styrenic polymer block A and at least one acrylic polymer block B are bound to each other and mixing it with a trichloromethyl group-containing triazine derivative (b) or, alternatively, to obtain a block copolymer (a) which contains carboxy precursor groups in the acrylic polymer block B, and converting the precursor groups to carboxyl groups, before or after mixing with the component (b), by heat-treating in the presence of an acid catalyst.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2004Publication date: October 21, 2004Applicant: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Tomoko Doi, Michiharu Yamamoto, Yutaka Moroishi, Yoshihide Kawaguchi, Fumiko Nakano
