mPEG750-amine
Based on 1 Customer Validation
mPEG750-amine (mPEG750-NH2) is a chemical modification reagent for nanoparticles, capable of covalently binding to Ad-PVA to form Ad-PVA-PEG polymers. mPEG750-amine stabilizes gene delivery complexes by providing steric hindrance, reducing particle aggregation, while enhancing the water solubility and serum stability of the complex, reducing carrier cytotoxicity, and assisting in the efficient condensation of pDNA by cationic components to form nanoparticles that can be endocytosed by cells. mPEG750-amine can also be used to synthesize folate-conjugated polymer micelles for encapsulating the anticancer agent Camptothecin (HY-16560). Folate-conjugated polymer micelles are effective carriers for poorly soluble anticancer drugs, capable of avoiding macrophages and acting through folate receptor (FR)-mediated endocytosis to target tumor cells. mPEG750-amine can be applied to research in the field of non-viral gene delivery, as a component of gene delivery vectors, facilitating the safe and efficient delivery of nucleic acid drugs to target cells.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Ad-PVA-PEG750, synthesized from mPEG750-amine via CDI activation reaction with Ad-PVA (stable for >5 days at pH=7, and 48 hours at pH=4), remains stable in a physiological environment at pH=7, but undergoes degradation via acetal bond cleavage under acidic conditions at pH=4, confirming its acid-responsive nature[2].
Ad-PVA-PEG750 synthesized from mPEG750-amine (forming complexes with cationic β-CD derivatives and pDNA at an N:P ratio ≥5) effectively concentrates pDNA. Compared to cationic β-CD alone, complete pDNA condensation and inhibition of its migration in agarose gel can be achieved at a lower N:P ratio[2].
The complex formed by Ad-PVA-PEG750 synthesized from mPEG750-amine and cationic β-CD exhibits 1000 times lower cytotoxicity to HeLa cells than 25 kDa bPEI, significantly reducing the cytotoxicity of the gene carrier[2].

In Vivo
It can also be used to evaluate the effects of mPEG-750 modified silicone nanoparticles on the mouse hematopoietic system (hemolysis, coagulation function)[1].

Protocols
-
Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.
-
Mammalian live/dead viability and cytotoxicity staining
Live/dead viability and cytotoxicity staining assays are based on the simultaneous detection of intracellular esterase activity in metabolically active (viable) cells and membrane integrity loss in non-viable cells. In commonly used dual-staining approaches, membrane-permeant fluorogenic substrates are converted by intracellular esterases into fluorescent products in live cells, while impermeant DNA-binding dyes selectively enter cells with compromised plasma membranes and label nucleic acids in dead or dying cells, enabling discrimination between viable and non-viable populations by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
-
Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
