A series of peptides and a peptide-siRNA complex are disclosed, wherein the peptide based complex effectively enhances delivery of siRNA molecules into the cells and release of siRNA in the cell, and improves siRNA mediated gene silencing efficiency of cellular targets. Pharmaceutical compositions that include the complex, as well as a use of the complex in the gene therapy field, are also disclosed.

Peptide, complex of peptide and siRNA, and methods of use thereof

Peptide, complex of peptide and siRNA and use thereof

Peptides that have been found to facilitate the delivery of siRNA molecules into cells and to function in siRNA mediated silencing of cellular targets are disclosed. Complexes that include one of the peptides and a cargo molecule are disclosed, wherein the peptide and the cargo molecule are coupled non-covalently. Also disclosed are methods of producing and using the peptides/complexes.

Peptide sequence design and use thereof for peptide-mediated siRNA delivery

The invention provides, in one aspect, peptides and a complex comprising one of the peptides and a cargo molecule, wherein the peptide and the cargo molecule are coupled by non-covalently. The peptides of the invention were found to facilitate the delivery of siRNA molecules into cells and to function in siRNA mediated silencing of cellular targets.
