Amphiphilic poly(3-hydroxylalkanoate) (PHA) copolymers find interesting applications in drug delivery. The aim of this study was to prepare nucleic acid adsorbed on (PHB-b-PEG-NH2) nanoparticle platform for gene delivery. For this purpose, PHB-b-PEG-NH2 block copolymers were synthesized via transesterification reactions. The copolymers obtained were characterized by Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The cytotoxic, apoptotic and necrotic effects of these nanoparticles in the MDA 231 human . . .breast cancer cell, the A549 human lung cancer cell and the L929 fibroblast cell lines were also investigated. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Daha fazlası Daha az
