Conjugates of glycosylated steroids and polyamines as novel nonviral gene delivery systems.
We have designed novel glycosteroid-polyamines for transmembrane DNA delivery based on amphiphilic drug transport agents. These glycosteroid-based agents show promise as viable DNA delivery technology for gene therapy.
