<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gene-introducing vector containing a new compound as an active ingredient, and to provide a method for introducing the gene into a cell therewith. <P>SOLUTION: A compound comprising a lipid structure portion and a peptide comprising ≤20 residues continuously containing ≥4 arginine residues, and a nano particle, liposome, or micelle containing the compound as an active ingredient are provided. The gene-introducing vector contains the compound, the nanoparticle, the liposome, or the micelle as a constituent. The method for transducing the gene into a cell with the gene-introducing vector is provided. For example, the above compound is represented by formula (2) [Arg is arginine, L is X(CH<SB>2</SB>)<SB>y</SB>or XCH<SB>2</SB>(CH<SB>2</SB>OCH<SB>2</SB>)<SB>z</SB>CH<SB>2</SB>; R is H or O(CH<SB>2</SB>)<SB>n</SB>CH<SB>3</SB>; (m) is an integer of 4 to 12; (n) is an integer of 11 to 17; X is N, O or S; (y) is an integer of 2 to 6; (z) is an integer of 1 to 100]. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
