Abstract: | Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) technology has shown great promise as a new class of therapeutics invention for treatment of cancer and other diseases. siRNA has been used extensively in blocking various genes and is presently being evaluated as a therapeutic for cancer and viral disease. Despite the excitement about this remarkable biological process for sequence specific gene regulation, the major limitations against the use of siRNAs‐based therapeutics are their rapid degradation by serum nuclease, poor cellular uptake, and rapid renal clearance following systemic delivery, off‐target effects, and induction of immune responses. Many researchers have tried to overcome these limitations with developing nuclease‐resistant chemically modified siRNAs and variety of synthetic and natural biodegradable lipids and polymers for siRNA delivery to enhance efficacy and safety profiles. An ideal siRNAs‐based delivery system must be clinically suitable, safe, and effective. This review discuss the recent progress of biodegradable polymers in siRNA delivery technology. |
