title: Amphiphilic polyether branched molecules to increase the circulation time of cationic particles.
abstract: The preparation, physicochemical and biological properties of amphiphilic polyether branched molecules is described. These 'bunch shaped' molecules when inserted into cationic liposomes/DNA complexes have shown efficient surface charge shielding. As a consequence they efficiently inhibited the non specific interactions with blood components and significantly enhanced circulation time of the particles in the blood track. Formulations containing these molecules compared positively with those containing PEG lipids, providing a 5-fold increase in circulation time.
