Abstract

Despite the advantages of chitosan as a non-viral gene delivery vector, the application of this system is significantly limited by its poor solubility (the amino groups on chitosan are only partially protonated at physiological pH 7.4), poor stability of the polyplex at physiological pH, low cell specificity and therefore low transfection efficiency. Chitosan structure modification or additive incorporation is an effective way to improve the stability of the polyplex in biological fluids, enhance targeted cell delivery and facilitate endo-lysosomal release of the complex. In this paper, chitosan derivatives as gene delivery vector were reviewed to facilitate the process of chitosan vector development for clinical application.
