Cover Story: RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful therapeutic approach for messenger RNA regulation in human cells. RNAi can be triggered by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) which are delivered by carriers, e.g., dendriplexes. siRNA quantification inside carriers is essential in drug delivery system development. We present a novel reverse transcription real-time PCR (RT-qPCR)-based application for siRNA quantification in drug formulations. It enables specific and highly sensitive quantification of released, uncomplexed target siRNA and thus also indirect assessment of siRNA stability and concentration inside dendriplexes. This novel application is an important tool for the development of new siRNA-based drugs and quality checks including drug stability measurements. View this paper
