Tri-block copolymers have exhibited great potentials in small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics. To reveal structure-activity relationships, we here synthesized a series of tri-block copolymers with different hydrophobic segments, PEG-PAMA-P(C6Ax-C7Ay-DPAz-DBAm) (EAAS) and PEG-PDAMAEMA-P(C6Ax-C7Ay-DPAz-DBAm) (EDAS), termed from EAASa to EAASh and EDASa to EDASh, with pKa ranging from 5.2 to 7.0. Our data showed that the better gene silencing efficiency was located in pKa of 5.8–6.2, which was contributed from higher endosomal escape observed with confocal images and hemolysis assay. EAASc, the leader polymer, showed excellent gene knockdown at w/w ratio of 14.5 on HepG2 (89.94%), MDA-MB-231 (92.45%), 293A (83.06%), and Hela cells (80.27%), all better than lipofectamine 2000. Besides, EAASc mediated effective gene silencing in tumor when performed peritumoral injection. This work found out that polymers with pKa ranging from 5.8 to 6.2 were efficient in siRNA delivery, which provided an optimization strategy for siRNA delivery systems, especially for tri-block copolymers.
