LIPIDS CAPABLE OF CONFORMATIONAL CHANGE AND THEIR USE IN FORMULATIONS TO DELIVER THERAPEUTIC AGENTS TO CELLS

摘要

The invention provides lipid-based composition for use in the administration of therapeutic payloads to target cells or tissues in vivo. The lipid compounds of the invention include a peptide-based moiety which is induced to change its conformation upon entering a cell or intracellular compartment. The induced conformation change in the peptide-based moiety consequently triggers the efficient release of the payload from the lipid-based composition.
