The low toxicity and efficient gene delivery of polymeric vectors remain the major barrier to the clinical application of non-viral gene therapy. Here, we present a poly-d, l-succinimide (PSI)-based biodegradable cationic polymer which mimicked the golden standard, branched polyethylenimine (PEI, ∼25 kDa). To investigate the influence of 1°, 2°, 3° amine group ratio in the polymer, a series of PSI-based vectors (PSI-NN′x-NNy) grafted with different amine side chains of N,N-dimethyldipropylenetriamine (NN’) and bis(3-aminopropyl)amine (NN) were first characterized and contrasted by biophysical measurements. The in vitro and in vivo biological assay demonstrated that PSI-NN′0.85-NN1exhibited better transfection ability and biocompatibility than PEI. The present results suggest that such PEI-mimic biodegradable PSI-NN′0.85-NN1possesses a good potential application for clinical gene delivery.
