| Research Abstract |
The artificial cationic lipids were synthesized from the reaction of L-alanine, and n-alkyl alcohol (n-decyl alcohol or n-lauryl alcohol). DNA-lipid complexes were prepared by reaction of DNA with cationic lipids and the self-standing, water-insoluble DNA-lipid films were prepared by casting the DNA-lipid complex from chloroform/ethanol solution. DNA-lipid films were very low cytotoxic and do not pause an unfavorable tissue response. Moreover, DNA-lipid films exhibited antibacterial activity against the bacterial strains tested. Therefore, MMA liquid with lipids and PMMA powder with DNA-lipid complex were experimentally prepared to give antibacterial activity to MMA-TBB resin. Although the lipids and DNA-lipid complex were adversely effect on the bonding of the resins to etched enamel and dentin, the resins had good antibacterial activity. The DNA-lipid films formed intercalation complexes with ethidium bromide. This indicates that DNA-lipid films maintain a double helical structure and DNA-lipid films have a potential to form intercalation compounds between antibiotics or cytokines. The tensile strengths of DNA films were 2.0 MPa to. 2.2 MPa and were compatible with a commercially available material for guided tissue regeneration in dental use. It is expected that the DNA-lipid films, DNA-lipid complex and lipid will be applicable as dental materials, biomaterials and DDS.
