Abstract

A safe and efficient synthesis of glycosylated polyethylenimine using titanium (IV) isopropoxide and sodium borohydride has been carried out as a substitute for the highly toxic sodium cyanoborohydride method currently used. Poryplexes formed between DNA and the various glycosylated polyethylenimines appeared to be much less cytotoxic than polyethylenimine (PEI)/DNA polyplexes.
