The chemical and physical structure of cationic liposomes pays an important effect on their gene transfection efficiency. Investigation on the structure-function relationship of cationic liposomes will guide the design of novel cationic liposomes with high transfection efficiency and biosafety. In this paper, two novel series of lipids based on the backbone of pentaerythritol and trimethylolpropane were discovered, and their gene transfection efficiencies were assayed in vitro. The four lipids 8c, 9c, 14b, and 15b, exhibited much better transfection ef-ficiency in the HEK293 cell lines compared with Lipo2000, lipid 9c also showed good transfection efficiency in the SW480 cell lines. And the structure-efficiency relationship revealed that a hydroxyethyl polar head group boosted transfer potency in trimethylolpropane-type lipids, but reduced in pentaerythritol-type lipids.

Pentaerythritol-based and trimethylolpropane-based cationic lipidic materials are emerging as effective vectors for gene delivery, leveraging their unique structural properties to enhance transfection efficiency. These lipidic materials possess multiple hydroxyl groups, allowing for the formation of stable, compact lipoplexes with nucleic acids. Their cationic nature facilitates the interaction with negatively charged genetic material, promoting cellular uptake and endosomal escape. Pentaerythritol-based lipids offer increased branching, which enhances payload capacity, while trimethylolpropane-based lipids provide flexibility in modifying lipid tail lengths to optimize delivery efficiency. These versatile cationic lipids are crucial in advancing non-viral gene delivery systems, offering a promising alternative for therapeutic applications, including gene therapy and vaccine development.
