Inductive electron-withdrawal from ammonium ion headgroups of cationic lipids and the influence on DNA transfection
We have prepared a panel of lipidic ammonium tetrafluoroborate salts that contain trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, and methyl groups attached to the headgroup. 19F-NMR analyses of the cationic lipid panel revealed that the differences in electron-withdrawal from the ammonium ion headgroup accounted for differences in ion-pairing. Exchange of the tetrafluoroborate counterion by complexation to DNA-phosphate of a reporter gene enabled us to probe the influence of inductive electron-withdrawal in cationic lipid-mediated DNA transfection. We tested the lipid panel for transfection activity in two cell lines. The results indicate that the inductive effects of electron-withdrawing functionality diminish transfection activity in modest (2–4-fold) increments. The present study suggests that the mechanism whereby poly(alcohol)- or poly(ether)-substituted headgroups improve DNA transfection is not based on electronic activation of the ammonium ion.
