Serum stability and physicochemical characterization of a novel amphipathic peptide C6M1 for siRNA delivery.

The efficient delivery of nucleic acids as therapeutic agents is a major challenge in gene therapy. Peptides have recently emerged as a novel carrier for delivery of drugs and genes. C6M1 is a designed amphipathic peptide with the ability to form stable complexes with short interfering RNA (siRNA)....
