A novel pH-responsive polysaccharidic ionic complex for proapoptotic d-(KLAKLAK)2peptide delivery

Abstract

We report charge-switching ionic nanocomplexes comprised of glycol chitosan grafted with 2,3-dimethylmaleic acid (DMA) (denoted as ‘GCS-g-DMA’ hereafter) and a proapoptotic peptide. This system allowed for improved peptide delivery to tumor sites via a mechanism of selective peptide release when the pH was dropped from 7.4 to 6.8.
