Podcasts about polyamines

Beside Creatine, Taurine and Maca Actually, if you eat Natto, the Japanese fermented Soybean for longevity and osteoporosis… You already eat enough Spermidine…We should consume 5 to 26mg of Spermidine per day.Spermidine is naturally polyamine that is responsible for autophagy… This means removing unnecessary or dysfunctional components, like cells that can cause inflammation, disease, even death… Even better, it recycles the dysfunctional components like when we are fasting for several days. One benefit of fasting is autophagy.Women have a problem to do fasting, because they lose fat, on their faces, and bosoms, which makes them unattractive. They can choose to eat enough Spermidine… which means 5 to 26mg per day…In addition, we can improve our cognitive function, when we consume the optimum on Spermidine in our food or as a supplement.If we want to remain healthy when we are aging or even increase our lifespan, Spermidine will be helpful… Spermidine has an anti-aging benefit. Our body produces Spermidine and Spermine (which is similar to Spermidine). Spermine is found in the semen of males. 1. It is produced by cellular syntheses, (something our cells make)2. In the gut by microbial synthesis3. Food… The food that contains the highest amount of Spermidine:1- Natto and Tempeh showed the highest content of Polyamines 75-124mg and 11-24 mg per 100g of Spermidine and Spermine, respectively.2- Wheat germ  Wheat germ has 24.3mg of Spermidine per 100g. 3- Cheddar (and mature cheeses)Like many mature kinds of cheese (Gouda, Brie, Parmesan, Gorgonzola…), Cheddar is chock-full of Spermidine with a content nudging 20mg/100g.4- MushroomsVitamins B3 and D, selenium, potassium, and phosphorus: nutrition-wise, mushrooms are already high performers. But to add to their ranking, they are one of the most Spermidine-rich plant foods with an impressive 8.8 mg/100 g.5- PeasHalfway between a green vegetable and a pulse, peas are often combined with carrots in canned products. But did you know they are packed with Spermidine (6.5 mg/100 g)?6- HazelnutsFew oleaginous fruits contain substantial levels of Spermidine, the one exception being hazelnuts, with a respectable 2.1 mg/100 g. 7- MangoesClocking up 3mg of Spermidine per 100g, mangoes are also notable for their vitamin A content (in the form of beta-carotene, responsible for their orange color) as well as polyphenols (including Gallic acid, mainly in ripe fruit).Combine them with bananas (0.86 mg/100 g) to end your meal on an exotic note and at the same time boost your Spermidine intake.8- Cabbage vegetablesDo you prefer cauliflower or broccoli? If you're not a fan of either of these cabbages, bear in mind that their florets (or leaves) contain an average of 2.5mg of Spermidine per 100g.Eat them raw or steamed to get the maximum benefit from their vitamins, minerals, and sulfur compounds.My Video:  The super nutrient Spermidine for aging https://youtu.be/Zj5Qci9_Gt8My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast3/The-super-nutrient-Spermidine-for-aging.mp3 

Defying diagnoses and aging gracefully are no small feats. But our guest, Leslie Kenny, not only accomplished these but has made it her life's work to inspire others to do the same. Leslie was given a grim prognosis of a five-year life expectancy after her diagnosis of lupus in her 30s, but she managed to shatter those expectations and build a thriving life. Now, in her work with Oxford Healthspan and the Oxford Longevity Project, she emphasizes the importance of immune system rebalancing along with precise dietary and lifestyle changes. The conversation takes an intriguing turn when we tackle the subject of gut health and its paramount role in our well-being. From exploring the link between leaky gut and autoimmune conditions to shedding light on the 12 hallmarks of aging, we take you on a journey through the complexities of the human body. We also delve into the process of autophagy and the role that fasting plays in fostering healthier cells. We also take a deep dive into our discussion about autophagy, fasting, and the critical role of polyamines in the body. And if you've ever wondered about the benefits of spermidine supplementation, you're in for quite the treat (mind-blowing benefits). We'll also explore the importance of muscle as a longevity currency and the risks of becoming too lean. Finally, we discuss the impact of intense exercise on hair loss, provide strategies to mitigate the effects of stress hormones, and offer practical tips to help you become the CEO of your health. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that is sure to level up your understanding of health, aging, and longevity. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (0:00:02) - Defying Diagnoses and Aging Gracefully (0:10:10) - Leaky Gut and Aging Hallmarks (0:14:25) - Hallmarks of Aging and Autophagy (0:21:41) - Autophagy, Fasting, and Polyamines (0:31:09) - Polyamines and Spermidine in Aging (0:40:14) - The Benefits of Spermidine Supplementation (0:52:51) - Gym Rats and Facial Hair Stress — Connect with Leslie — Website — https://oxfordhealthspan.com/ Instagram (Oxford Healthspan) — https://www.instagram.com/oxfordhealthspan/ Instagram (Leslie's) — https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/ Instagram (Oxford Longevity Project) — https://www.instagram.com/oxfordlongevityproject/ LinkedIn (Oxford Healthspan) — https://www.linkedin.com/company/68855978 LinkedIn (Oxford Longevity Project) —https://www.linkedin.com/company/oxford-longevity-project/ LinkedIn (Leslie Kenny) — https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-k-28435a/ — A Special Gift and Thank You to Leslie & Oxford Healthspan — Spermidine improves healthspan by inhibiting 9 of the 12 hallmarks of aging and benefiting the areas of beauty and sleep.

EPISODE 118: There is a natural compound that is present in sperm, human breast milk, and in the endosperm of seeds. In all these cases, it is there to help the next generation survive and thrive.  This compound is called spermidine, and it works wonders for longevity and health.  Today's return guest Leslie Kenny is here to tell us all about it!  Leslie is a graduate of both Berkeley and Harvard and the founder of Oxford Healthspan.  She was diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis in her 30s, and her prognosis was terrible. However, instead of listening to the doctors and giving up, she went on a journey of healing and discovery.  Today, at 57, she is living proof that we have much more control over our health than we think. And she attributes much of her success to spermidine.  So without further ado, let's dive right into the healing powers of this amazing natural compound.  Tune in!    Key Takeaways: Intro (00:00) What is spermidine, and how does it increase longevity? (02:04) The effects of spermidine on grey hair and hair health (06:12) Female hormone health and spermidine (16:49) Spermidine supplementation for sleep problems (22:12) Best practices for spermidine supplementation and different types of spermidine supplements (26:13)  Research around spermidine (36:44) When does our natural spermidine production decrease (41:01) The Oxford Longevity Project (43:44) Leslie on longevity (47:56) Outro (53:22)   Additional Resources:   ➡️ Take the next step to boosting your longevity: http://LLInsider.com/  ➡️ Coaching with Claudia: https://longevity-and-lifestyle.com/contact ➡️ Full list of resources, links, and show notes: https://longevity-and-lifestyle.com/podcast-118-leslie-kenny    Check out the research on spermidine: ✨ Hormone health and polyamines: https://www.scirp.org/pdf/ojemd_2019030415223662.pdf ✨ Polyamines exhibit antioxidant effects on the ovary: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36982867/ ✨ Female germline stem cells: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34099041/ ✨ Spermidine fights cancer in aging mice: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj3510   Follow Oxford Healthspan: ✨ Website: https://oxfordhealthspan.com/  ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oxhealthspan  ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oxfordhealthspan/  ✨ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw20bZbnPHb5XcoxsgEE8Uw  ✨ Twitter: https://twitter.com/oxhealthspan  ✨ The Oxford Longevity Project: http://oxfordlongevityproject.org/   Follow Leslie Kenny: ✨ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LeslieLingLi/videos ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/   Follow Claudia on social media:  ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/claudiavonB  ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longevityandlifestyle/  ✨ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudia-von-boeselager/  ✨ Twitter: https://twitter.com/longevitylifest  ✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longevityandlifestyle    Follow The Longevity and Lifestyle Podcast:   ✨ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3ogQDBd  ✨ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/77XDkcNfzZCasJXL672h01    The Longevity and Lifestyle Podcast is dedicated to everyone who wants to increase their lifespan, improve their quality of life and unlock peak performance.   Don't forget to follow so you never miss an episode!

While you may be familiar with the nine hallmarks of aging, over the past several years there have been an additional five added to that list. It might seem overwhelming to have 14 aging processes to keep up with, but it's important to understand that many of them, if not all of them, are essentially interrelated.    One thing we've learned about these processes that drive aging are that they are done at a cellular and systemic level. This gives us the opportunity to try and intercept and correct them so that we can live longer, healthier lives.   I'm joined by Leslie Kenny, Founder of Oxford Healthspan and Co-Founder of the Oxford Longevity Project. We're talking all about the hallmarks of aging, including how the processes are interconnected, and what we can do to slow these processes down. We also dive into polyamines, specifically spermidine, and how it can boost autophagy.   Leslie Kenny is an autoimmune survivor/thriver, certified health coach and Founder and CEO of Oxford Healthspan, bringing to consumers the latest scientifically based molecules proven to slow aging.   She is also the Co-Founder of the non-profit Oxford Longevity Project which aims to bring the latest scientific breakthroughs on healthy aging to the general public. Leslie holds degrees from Berkeley and Harvard. What we discuss: 00:01:38 - The symposiums and organizations Leslie is connected to  00:11:21 - The first nine hallmarks of aging 00:15:25 - Inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and autophagy  00:22:22 - The effects of fasting on the body 00:30:09 - The dysregulated RNA process 00:36:03 - What are polyamines? 00:44:42 - How do people get polyamines into their diet?  00:51:40 - Synthetics vs. food derived  00:57:17 - The benefits of spermidine supplements  Key Takeaways: Polyamines are derived from amino acids, and they play a role in slowing down the process of aging. The most well known polyamine is spermidine, and it helps to boost autophagy. There are many other molecules in foods and whole food sources, so it is important to consume nutrients through eating whole foods. The body is able to regenerate and self renew itself if we're able to remove the obstacles and facilitate those processes. Leslie's top suggestions for longevity include eating intentionally, joyful movement, sleep, and early morning sunlight.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.13.512083v1?rss=1 Authors: Lanteri, M. L., Silveyra, M. X., Moran, M. M., Boutet, S., Solis-Gozar, D.-D., Perreau, F., Andreu, A. B. Abstract: Andean potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L. ssp. andigena) are a good source of dietary antioxidant polyphenols. We have previously demonstrated that polyphenol extracts from Andean potato tubers exerted a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, being skin extracts more potent than flesh ones. In order to gain insight into the bioactivities of potato phenolics, we investigated the composition and the in vitro cytotoxic activity of total extracts and fractions of skin and flesh tubers of three Andean potato cultivars (Santa Maria, Waicha, and Moradita). Potato total extracts were subjected to liquid-liquid fractionation using ethyl acetate solvent in organic and aqueous fractions. We analyzed both fractions by HPLC-DAD, HPLC-ESI-MS/MS, and HPLC-HRMS. Results corroborated the expected composition of each fraction. Organic fractions were rich in hydroxycinnamic acids (principally chlorogenic acid isomers), whereas aqueous fractions contained mainly polyamines conjugated with phenolic acids, glycoalkaloids, and flavonoids. Organic fractions were not cytotoxic against SH-SY5Y cells, and indeed, some increased cellular metabolism compared to controls. Aqueous fractions were cytotoxic and even more potent than their respective total extracts. Treatment with a combination of both fractions showed a similar cytotoxic response to the corresponding extract. According to correlation studies, it is tempting to speculate that polyamines and glycoalkaloids are crucial in inducing cell death. Our findings indicate that the activity of Andean potato extracts is a combination of various compounds and contribute to the revalorization of potato as a functional food.

In this episode, Nadine and I discuss sun exposure and sunscreen. Have you wondered how much sun you actually need or what sunscreens are safe for the body inside and out? If so this is the episode for you. Sun has a profound effect on our circadian rhythm, so much so that you can reset your own circadian rhythm just by getting sun exposure at certain times of day. Nadine talks to us about the benefits of melanotan as well. With summer in mind, this episode is packed with really important information about sunblock ingredients. Especially when it comes to the brands you buy for kids. Look up safe sunblock brands before you put anything on your kids.   Learn more about Living Libations at https://livinglibations.com use discount code “longevity” for 10% off!     Sponsor Deals   Oxford HealthSpan brings us Primeadine, the best formulated Spermidine supplement on the market!  What makes it stand out – it includes Spermine & Putrescine two other Polyamines that work hand in hand with Spermidine PLUS FOS, a prebiotic to feed the bacteria in your gut that make Spermidine!

My guest this week is Ari Tulla, CEO/Co-founder of Elo Health. In this episode, Ari and I discuss how to solve big problems like nutrition. Most people have no idea how they are doing nutrition-wise.

Elo Health has created a program that helps people measure and understand their biomarkers on a quarterly basis. Elo Health helps people personalize their nutrition and supplementation by directly measuring the effect.

Can mold grow in a new house or building? What are some symptoms of mold toxicity?  We spend most of our time indoors, it's where we work, sleep, and recover. The way houses are quickly and cheaply produced these days has made many of us susceptible to illness from our indoor environment. It may seem overwhelming, but Jason has developed a cost effective way to test for mold and has some simple tricks for keeping indoor air as clean as possible.

My guest this week is R Blank of Shield Your Body. In this episode, R and I discuss EMF's or electromagnetic fields. There are many forms of EMF, the kind we are talking about are non-ionizing forms of EMF - referred to as radio frequency or microwave, used for wireless communication. These kinds of EMFs are over 1 trillion times higher in a city than what is found in nature. While EMFs help us to advance greatly in the world of technology and communication it comes at a cost. There are several known health risks associated with the levels of EMF that we are exposed to in our homes, cities, schools, and jobs.  Thankfully there are things we can do in our daily routine to help mitigate some of the health risks and there are products that we can use to help us use technology in a safer way.  Learn more about R Blank and Shield Your Body Products at https://www.shieldyourbody.com/ and use my code Longevity for %15 off.   Sponsor Offer: Oxford HealthSpan brings us Primeadine, the best formulated Spermidine supplement on the market!  What makes it stand out – it includes Spermine & Putrescine two other Polyamines that work hand in hand with Spermidine PLUS FOS, a prebiotic to feed the bacteria in your gut that make Spermidine!  I take Spermidine daily as do my family and my clients – it has become a solid member of my “foundation stack”.  Research has shown that Spermidine upregulates autophagy, helps the immune system to rejuvenate and it protects DNA – visible benefits experienced by myself and my clients include better sleep, hair, skin and nails!

My guest this week is Craig Koniver, MD In this episode, Craig Koniver, MD, and I discuss mental health, COVID, and of course his specialty NAD+. NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It is involved in hundreds of cellular processes. NAD+ can be used to slow aging, enhance energy levels, minimize drug withdrawal, and more. It improves our resistance to stress, improves energy metabolism, protects our genome, is neuroprotective, and improves insulin sensitivity.

My guest this week is Beth Shirley, RPh, CCN In this episode, Beth Shirley, (Executive Director of the Scientific Advisory Board for Berkeley Life) and I discuss Nitric Oxide and the plethora of conditions it can help with from infections to mast cell issues. Beth talks about one single compound that can help with inflammation, sexual health, brain fog, mast cell reactivation syndrome, depression, anxiety, heart disease, gut health, and so much more. We are talking about nitric oxide. Although our bodies should adequately produce this molecule, due to aging and the many environmental stressors we are now exposed to, many of us are depleted. Everything from day-to-day stress, to EMF exposure, and poor lifestyle habits can deplete nitric oxide. Beth Shirley covers a wide range of nitric oxide (NO) topics such as why we need NO, how we become deficient, how to test NO levels, how to supplement NO so the body can get back to optimal programming.

My guest this week is Adrienne Jezick, Co-Founder Morozko Forge, Master Deliberate Cold Exposure (DCE) Guide. In this episode, Adrienne shares an all-too-familiar story of a major battle with autoimmunity to the point where she thought she was dying. Low and behold, she tried one natural therapy for autoimmunity after another until she noticed that ice baths, or deliberate cold exposure therapy, made the biggest impact. While an anti-inflammatory diet was also helpful, ice bath's opened her eyes to a totally new world of healing autoimmunity naturally. Ice baths have the power to heal chronic and acute conditions and can be a complementary therapy for many other diseases. We encourage you to comb through the clinical research out there.  Perhaps one of the biggest deterrents for deliberate cold exposure is the fear of discomfort. That's normal. Adrienne speaks with us today with full confidence that we can, with the right guidance, be someone who tolerates and benefits from ice baths.  Today's episode will help you understand how to prepare for deliberate cold exposure, how long to stay in an ice bath, who should NOT try ice baths, what kind of breathwork is helpful for ice baths, contrast therapy, and how often you should do ice baths. And of course, what to do if you don't have access to a place that has ice baths. Learn more about deliberate cold exposure (DCE) at https://www.morozkoforge.com or if you would like to be put on the waiting list for new training in 2022 then shoot Adrienne an email at info@morozkoforge.com.

This episode is the second of a two-part series on Primeadine: a new healthy aging Spermidine supplement that is already getting rave reviews.  Spermidine is a potent polyamine, known for inducing autophagy or cellular renewal.  As we age, our bodies are getting slower and slower in the production of spermidine leaving us more reliant on exogenous sources be they food or supplementation.  Supplementation with spermidine in humans has been shown to support cognition and heart health, balance hormones and improve hair growth and fullness (including eyelashes),  strengthening nails.  Spermidine also positively impacts five of the nine hallmarks of aging including: misfolded proteins (impaired proteostasis), epigenetic changes, mitochondrial dysfunction, stem cell dysfunction, impaired cellular communication. Amy Lamotte is a fellow biohacker and in this episode, she shares her amazing hacks and simple and effective techniques that anyone can follow. We talk about the benefits of Spermidine, its mechanisms, and how it induces autophagy. She also shares about how she hacked her autoimmune disease, treating it and reversing it herself through diet, supplementation and testing. You shouldn’t miss this episode. Listen in!   Meet this week’s guest: Amy Lamotte is the Managing Director of Vallotte Nutrigenomics Limited in Hong Kong. She is a clinical nutritionist and researcher specializing in personalized nutrition, nutritional biochemistry, nutrigenetics, and nutrigenomics. Other areas of interest include anti-aging, circadian biology, and the microbiome. She has a Master’s of Science in Human Nutrition (summa cum laude) from the University of Bridgeport and a J.D. from Yale Law School.

We should be doing everything in our power to ensure we live longer, happier, healthier lives. Polyamines, such as spermidine and spermine, help the body induce autophagy, which is the body's process of cellular renewal eliminating old proteins and organelles that are no longer valuable. This process can help us live longer, boost our immune system, and improve our brain's health. There are several ways that you can consume polyamines like spermidine.

Humans and plants have many things in common, one of those things is that we both do all that we can to ensure we live as long as possible. One of the ways we can achieve that is through the intake of polyamines and polyamine synthesis. This process promotes autophagy, which is our body's process of replacing damaged cells with new, rejuvenated cells. As you can imagine, this process can help us live a longer, happier, healthier life. Spermidine is an example of a polyamine that can help promote autophagy.

089 The One That's All About Filming Amines (General) Episode 89: Show Notes This one is straight from the Scaling UP! H2O mailbag! I have received dozens of questions about filming amines after Episode 80, Filming Amines. In that episode, I shared with the Scaling UP! Nation! the paper I presented at the 2018 Association of Water Technologies Convention and Expo. In fact, after I presented this paper, several people came up to me with question about filming amines. So here is what I think is going on: We water treaters are used to doing our craft in a particular way (the way we are used to.) When we change what we are used to (say using filming amines) some of us get nervous. Scaling UP! H2O to the rescue... Today's episode was meant to be a one-part episode with WST’s Marodi Cribari. However, there was so much information to cover we decided to cover filming amines for the next 3 weeks! Marodi has a great way of explaining us through many of the questions water treaters have. Although she works for WST, she answers our questions in a way that can apply to any supplier that you use. This week we will be talking about filming amines in general. You will learn how they started and how they came to be used in our water systems. Next week we tackle boilers and the third and final week, we talk about closed loops and cooling towers. I promise that after these episodes you will be well prepared to start your journey into learning more about filming amine technologies. Happy Learning!

Researchers have discovered a variety of components in foods that are essential to health but are low in quantity in most diets. One of these is a set of compounds called polyamines. Researchers explain what they are, how they work, and how people can replace those that are needed in the diet.

047 The One with the Guy Who Writes About Water   Episode 47: Show Notes   I think it is safe to say that the majority of the Scaling UP! Nation! is on one or more social media platforms. I try to post news about my upcoming podcast on social media, mainly LinkedIn. Social Media is how we stay connected in today’s world. In fact, many of you found out about the Scaling UP! podcast from LinkedIn.     In an effort to stay sharp for the Scaling UP! Nation!, I try to read as much as I can. From books to articles, you just never know what fodder is out there that you can turn into a good episode. During my assimilation of this data, I ran across Jim Lauria on LinkedIn. Jim wrote a very intriguing article about Leonardo DaVinci and water. It was fascinating. I enjoyed not only the article but the way that in which Jim wrote it. This led me to start reading other articles written by Jim. If you are connected with me on LinkedIn, you have seen me share many of them.   Since connecting on LinkedIn, Jim and I have shared several insights and conversations. Jim is a renaissance man when it comes to water, in his own right. On today’s episode Jim shares with us not only his passion for writing about water but also some tips about promoting yourself on LinkedIn. We even sneak in a few words on “Mind Mapping.” Do you even know what that is? I though I was the only one…   Please enjoy my interview with Jim Lauria.  More about Jim:   Jim Lauria is Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Mazzei Injector, a fluid design company that manufactures mixing and contacting systems. He is a leader in the water treatment field with a proven track record of revenue growth, profit improvement and new business development. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering degree from Manhattan College, Jim has traveled the world benchmarking the best water management practices.  He lives in San Francisco with his wife Laurie Lauria, who fills his life with love, laughter, and alliteration.  Key Points From This Episode:       Michelle Farmerie's come back and AWT news [0:03:00]     What to expect at the AWT convention 2018 [0:03:30]   Russell Baskin on the Legionella presentation [0:09:50]   Overview on Trace and Nathan Hardy's presentation [0:17:23]   Scaling UP!

Pratik Shah is a graduate student in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, and he’s a 2009 recipient of ASM’s Raymond W. Sarber award, granted to recognize students for research excellence and potential.His research focuses on polyamines and polyamine biosynthesis and transport systems in Streptococcus pneumoniae.  He’s studying polyamines with the goal of finding potential targets for pneumococcal vaccines and prophylactic interventions against pneumococcal disease.  In this interview, I talked with Pratik about why polyamines may hold the key for new ways to combat pathogens, his plans for the future, and about advice he would give to young people considering grad school.

Gene therapy is a very promising approach to treat or to prevent diseases. However, progress in this field is hindered by lack of suitable vectors. Current research focuses on the development of novel nonviral biodegradable gene carriers with improved gene transfer activity and low toxicity. In the course of this thesis, a library of degradable DNA compacting domains based on oligomerized polyamines was synthesized and analyzed. Degradation of the originated polymers was either based on site-specific reductive cleavage of disulfide bonds or on time-dependent ester/amide hydrolysis. DNA binding activity, polyplex stability, transfection efficiency, toxicity, and hemocompatibility studies were performed in order to identify promising candidates. Some of the novel gene carriers, especially the degradable oligoethylenimine (OEI) derivatives were successfully applied for in vitro transfection and could easily compete with the current ‘golden standard’ linear polyethylenimine with an average Mw of 22 kDa (PEI22lin). Furthermore, screening results revealed critical structure activity relationships which were very helpful for improving the polymer design. According to transfection and biocompatibility results, efficiency and toxicity correlated to some degree. Polymers with an overall high charge density and a high molecular weight like OEI-HD-1 provided polyplex stability and formed small uniform particles. On the other hand these polymers tended to induce erythrocyte aggregation and exhibited a pronounced cytotoxicity when applied at high concentrations. Polycation with a lower molecular weight (~ 10 kDa) like e.g. OEI-IP-1 were essentially nontoxic, but had to be applied at high concentrations in order to achieve efficient gene transfer. Intrinsic membrane activity of certain polymers could damage cellular membranes but may also trigger endosomal release and therefore boost transfection activity. Crosslinking of OEI 800 with 1,6-hexanedioldiacrylate resulted in highly efficient degradable polycations. Different reaction temperatures during OEI-HD-1 synthesis had a strong impact on molecular weight and the ester/amide ratio. Despite structural differences, both OEI-HD-1 (synthesized at 60°C) and lt-OEI-HD-1 (synthesized at 20°C) possessed equal gene transfer activity as the ‘golden standard’ PEI22lin when applied at their optimal polymer/DNA-ratio (w/w). It was important to note that lt-OEI-HD-1, the LMW-derivative which is predominantly based on ester linkages, was significantly less toxic than its HMW amide-linked counterpart. OEI-HD displayed a very promising basis for the development of further powerful gene carriers. A two-step synthesis protocol was established in order to generate OEI-HD cores bearing excessive linker which could be subsequently modified with various functionalities like spermine. OEI-HD-Sper pseudo-dendrimers were characterized by a pronounced intrinsic membrane activity and possess high transfection efficiency. Since current nonviral vectors are still very inefficient as compared to their viral competitors, natural viruses present an ideal example educating us how to further optimize polycationic gene carriers in terms of specific cell-targeting and improved endosomal release. Modification of polyplexes towards a “smart” virus-like system was achieved in the following way. Degradable DNA compacting domains (OEI-HD-1) were utilized for complex formation. Furthermore, epidermal growth factor (EGF) was incorporated as targeting ligand into OEI-HD-1 polyplexes and thus allowed cell-specific cellular uptake via the EGF receptor (EGFR). Gene transfer potential of EGFR-targeted degradable polyplexes was further improved by applying technologies which promoted the endosomal release of endocytosed particles. Photochemical intracellular release (PCI) is based on accumulation of amphiphilic photosensitizers (PS) in endosomal membranes. Illumination of PS pre-treated transfected cells results in activation of the PS and subsequent light-induced rupture of endocytic vesicles. Combination of biological (EGFR) and physical (PCI) targeting greatly enhanced reporter gene delivery mediated by OEI-HD-1 polyplexes. Finally, the incorporation of membrane active melittin derivatives into EGF/OEI-HD-1 polyplexes was the first example of a biodegradable synthetic virus for gene delivery.
