Cationic nioplexes-in-polysaccharide-based hydrogels as versatile biodegradable hybrid materials to deliver nucleic acids

Abstract:

Two polysaccharide-based hydrogels made of only κ-carrageenan (4%; w/v) or of a mixture of methylcellulose:κ-carrageenan (2%; w/v) were used to encapsulate cationic nioplexes. These vesicular particles were made of a synthetic aminolipid and polysorbate-80 (Tween-80), as a non-ionic surfactant agent. According to oscillatory rheological measurements, the presence of nioplexes did not compromise the mechanical integrity of the gels. In vitro niosomal release experiments demonstrated the libera...
