Abstract
► Synthesis of a series of degradable multivalent cationic lipids (CMVLs), 2+ to 5+ ► Disulfide spacer between head and tails is reductively cleaved in cytoplasm ► Triggered disintegration of disulfide spacers significantly reduces cytotoxicity ► Reductive cleavage disassembles CMVLn-DNA complexes ► CMVLs (3+ to 5+) transfect as efficiently as benchmark reagents
