Synthesis of Pyridinium Amphiphiles Used for Transfection and Some Characteristics of Amphiphile/DNA Complex Formation

Pyridinium amphiphiles have found practical use for the delivery of DNA into cells. Starting from 4-methylpyridine, a general synthesis has been devised for the production of pyridinium amphiphiles which allows variation in both the hydrophobic part and in the headgroup area of the compounds. By means of differential scanning microcalorimetry, zeta potential, particle size measurements and cryo electron microscopy, some characteristics of the pyridinium amphiphile/ DNA complexes have been determined.

Pyridinium amphiphiles have found practical application for the delivery of DNA into eukaryotic cells. A general synthetic method starting from (iso)nicotinoyl chloride has been devised for the preparation of pyridinium amphiphiles based on (bio)degradable esters, allowing structural variation both in the hydrophobic part and in the headgroup area. By means of differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron microscopy and UV measurements, some characteristics, including hydrolytic behaviour, have been determined. In vitro transfection ability and toxicity have been determined using the eukaryotic COS-7 cell line.
