A family of cationic Pluronic-based polyrotaxanes (PR(+)), threaded with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD), was synthesized for pDNA delivery into multiple cell lines. All PR(+) formed highly stable, positively charged pDNA complexes that were < 250 nm in diameter. The cellular uptake and pDNA transfection efficiencies of the PR(+):pDNA complexes was enhanced relative to the commercial transfection standards L2K and bPEI, while displaying similar or lower toxicity profiles.
