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