title: Synthesis and evaluation of a novel lipid-peptide conjugate for functionalized liposome.
abstract: A novel lipid analog based on amino acids for liposome modification was developed. It consisted of three different kinds of amino acid derivatives and two fatty acids, and can react directly with the peptide synthesized first on resin by Fmoc solid-phase synthesis. In this study, lipid analog conjugated with HIV-TAT peptide (domain of human immunodeficiency virus TAT protein) was synthesized and successfully incorporated into liposome. The liposome containing the lipopeptide bearing HIV-TAT exhibited efficient cellular uptake.
