Abstract

Polyamine amides have been prepared from cholic and lithocholic acid by acylation of tri-Boc protected spermine and thermine and their binding affinities for calf thymus DNA were determined using an ethidium bromide fluorescence quenching assay; these polyamine amides are models for lipoplex formation with respect to gene delivery (lipofection), a key first step in gene therapy.
