Oligo-glutamic acids were assembled as scaffolds. The presence of amine groups in these three ligands is expected to couple with drugs or genes for delivery. The binding affinities of these cluster galactoses to liver cells were de-termined by in vitro binding studies. Among them, the tetravalent cluster galactose (19) showed the highest affinity to liver cell. It is therefore a promising targeting device for the specific delivery of drugs or genes to parenchymal liver cells.展开更多
