Résumé
Pullulan is a natural polysaccharide of potential interest for biomedical applications due to its non-toxic, non-immunogenic and biodegradable properties. The aim of this work was to synthesize cationic pullulan derivatives able to form complexes with microRNAs (miRNAs) driven by electrostatic interaction (polyplexes). Quaternized ammonium groups were linked to pullulan backbone by adding the reactive glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC). The presence of these cationic groups within the pullulan was confirmed by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (
