X-ray crystal structure of compound 6 Single crystal Diffraction data were collected at 170 K on an Xcalibur 2 diffractometer (Oxford Diffraction) using graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). The structure was solved by direct methods and successive Fourier difference syntheses and was refined on F2 by weighted anisotropic full-matrix least-squares methods.[1] All the nonhydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. All the hydrogen atoms were calculated for both structures and therefore included as isotropic fixed contributors to Fc. The thermal ellipsoid drawings were made with the ORTEP program.[2] Data collection and data reduction were done with the CRYSALIS-CCD and CRYSALIS-RED programs.[3] All other calculations were performed using standard procedures (embedded with WinGX suite of programs).[4] A) Unit cell B) Packing Figure S2.

Drug resistance study In order to investigate whether or not arsonium-containing cationic lipids might select for drug-resistant isolates, the MRSA strain N315 was cultivated for serial passages on half-MIC of 2, MIC values being re-evaluated every 24 h. As a positive control, the antibiotic norfloxacin (NFX) was evaluated in parallel in the same way.

Evaluation of the ability of a methicillin resistant S. aureus strain to develop resistances towards an antibiotic or an arsonium-containing cationic lipid. (A) Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined while cultivating the strain N315 for 10 passages (one each 24 h) in presence of either Norfloxacin (NFX, N) or 2. Bacteria growing at one-half of the MIC were used to prepare bacterial dilution (106 to 107 CFU/mL) used for subsequent passage. (B) As controls, at passage 9 to 10, bacteria previously cultivated in presence of one drug were exposed to the other one (n=3). While the susceptibility of bacteria towards 2 did not change after 10 passages, a strong increase in MIC of NFX was already detected after 3 passages, with a more than 20-fold increase in MIC measured after 10 days. This supports that arsonium-containing cationic lipids should not participate in the development of drug-resistant strains. S6 Submitted to SI6. Stability of a naked DNA under sterile or infected conditions Figure S4. Stability of a naked pDNA when diluted in a culture medium either sterile or inoculated with a bacterial strain. A pDNA was diluted either in water (i), in sterile LB broth (ii) or in LB broth inoculated with the S. aureus strain RN4220 (iii) and then incubated at 37 °C for 6 h. At 3 time points (H), optical densities at 650 nm were measured (for assessing bacterial growth) and an aliquot of each condition was analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis (for assessing DNA integrity). L, 100 bp DNA ladder (Smartladder SF, Eurogentec); LB, LB broth alone; i, pDNA in water; ii, pDNA in sterile LB broth; iii, pDNA in inoculated LB broth. - Lane 2: The lower diffused band visible at the bottom of wells #2, #4, #5, #7, #8, #10, #11, and #12 should not be confused with DNA. It is likely that it corresponds to some LB broth components that should interact with ethidium bromide, thereby being visualised on gel. - Lanes 3, 6 and 9: The clear delineation of distinct bands remaining unchanged at the three time points considered indicate the stability of pDNA diluted in water, at 37 °C, for at least 6 h (and up to 16 h, not shown). - Lanes 4, 7 and 10: The dilution of pDNA in sterile LB broth leads to some conformational changes as the different forms visualised at H+0, H+4, and then H+6 are not the same. However, clear distinct bands are well observed in each case and no obvious degradation can be detected there. - Lanes 5, 8 and 11: For conditions where DNA is diluted in an inoculated LB broth, as bacteria grow, pDNA conformational changes are first visible at H+4 then a smear with fragment sizes ranging to 200 up to >1,000 base pairs at H+6. After 16 h at 37 °C, no DNA is visualised (not shown). - Lanes 11 and 12: Of note, the intense fluorescence observed in well #11 is related to bacteria themselves; indeed, such fluorescence was not observed in well #12 which corresponds to the electrophoresis of the supernatant collected after centrifugation (to pellet bacteria).

Lipoplexes prepared with an arsonium-containing lipophosphoramide can simultaneously kill bacteria and protect DNA against degradation. Lipoplexes were prepared by mixing DNA with either LFM or 2 in order to form complexes characterized with charge ratios (CR) ranging from 0.5 up to 8.0 (corresponding cationic lipid concentrations are indicated in the unit of µM). Thereafter, lipoplexes were diluted in LB broth either sterile or inoculated with the S. aureus strain RN4220. After an overnight incubation at 37 °C, bacterial growths were assessed spectroscopically by measuring the absorption at 650 nm and by spreading an aliquot of each condition onto nutritive non-selective agar plates (A); agarose gel electrophoresis were conducted to evaluate DNA condensation within lipoplexes, before and after addition of dextran sulphate (DS) (B).

Figure S6. Lipoplexes prepared with an arsonium-containing lipophosphoramide can kill bacteria while remaining efficient for in vitro transfection of eukaryotic cells. Lipoplexes were prepared by mixing DNA with either LFM or an arsonium-containing lipophosphoramide (1, 2 or 3) in order to form complexes characterized with charge ratios (CR) ranging from 0.5 up to 5.0 (corresponding cationic lipid concentrations [C] are indicated in the unit of μM). Next, lipoplexes were diluted in DMEM either sterile or inoculated with the S. aureus strain RN4220. After 24 h at 37 °C, a direct visual inspection of these mixtures allowed identifying conditions in which a bacterial growth had occurred (A). Bacterial growths were further confirmed by spreading an aliquot of each condition onto a nutritive non-selective agar plate and overnight incubation at 37 °C (B). Mixtures of lipoplexes with or without bacteria were then used for in vitro gene transfection of eukaryotic cells. The luciferase reporter system was used to evaluate the transfection efficiency measured as RLU per mg protein. The results shown were obtained by incubating the human airway epithelial cell line 16HBE with lipoplexes formed at 3 different CR. Of note, similar results were obtained when using A549 cell line (not shown) (C). Values are mean +/- SD with n = 3.
