A novel class of redox-responsive cationic supramolecular polymer with effective DNA condensation ability and H 2 O 2 -induced DNA release behavior has been successfully constructed from small molecules. This supramolecular polymer can be used in vitro as a promising nonviral vector for gene therapy. A redox-responsive small molecule-based cationic supramolecular polymer has been successfully developed as a promising nonviral vector for gene therapy.
