Аннотация:A series of nanogel particles with the growing cross-linking degree was synthesized in
reverse micelles by copolymerization of a cationic monomer N,N-dimethylaminoethylme
thacrylate with increasing amounts of N,N0-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). The growth
of MBA content in the studied range of 0.2–15% (mol) resulted in a regular decrease of
the particles’ size with a narrowing in their size distribution which occurred at the first
of the cross-linker addition. In the second region, where the MBA content was more than
5% (mol), the size distribution was very narrow. The cross-linked polymers prepared at
2–5% of the cross-linker amount demonstrated a minimum size of the polyplexes and
enhancement in the transfection with plasmid DNA and small interfering RNA targeted
to the luciferase gene. The revealed changes in the properties of nanogels occurring upon
the changes in the cross-linking degree appear to be a platform for a controlled manufacturing
of efficient cross-linked cationic vectors.
