“…However, a high degree of trimethylation (94%) of the same low molecular weight chitosan lowered IC 50 to 1.4 mg/mL (MCF7) and 2.2 mg/mL (COS7) (Kean et al, 2005).…”

“…However, with respect to another positively charged polymer, polyethyleneimine (PEI), TMC showed much lower toxicity (Kean et al, 2005). TMC, despite some toxicity related to free cationic charges, has therefore a key role to play in wound healing as a drug delivery material, most likely when complexed with anionic drugs such as RNA or DNA.…”

“…CS is a well-known naturally occurring molecule which has been widely used as a gene/ drug nanocarrier and for the functionalization of nanoparticles in order to improve their aqueous dispersibility 58 . It has also been considered a promising alternative to PEI as it exhibits less cytotoxicity 59 . However, Bao et al reported much lower transfection efficacy with GO-CS:pDNA nanocomplexes compared to those based on PEI:pDNA alone, implying that the NA transfer efficiency of such vectors is yet to be optimized 56 .…”
