Popis: Cholesterol amphiphiles containing positively charged groups (pyridinium, N-methylimidazolium, N-methylmorpholinium, and N-methylpiperidinium) linked via β-glucosyl spacer were prepared by alkylation of the corresponding bases with 6-О-mesyl-β- d -cholesteryl glucopyranoside. IC50 values were in the range 20–35 μM for the series of compounds and liposomal formulations with DOPE (1:1) were significantly less toxic. The liposomal formulations provided the accumulation of FITC-labeled oligonucleotide in cells, and the efficiency of this process was comparable to that of Lipofectamine® 2000. Cationic liposomes were able to deliver siRNA into the cells, and the liposomal formulation 7d/DOPE provided the most pronounced down-regulation of EGFP expression both in the presence and in the absence of serum (up to 30%).
