Popis: The role of macrophages in the uptake and processing of liposomes evident from the increased deposition of liposomal content in cells. It has been reported that macrophages may serve as a secondary drug carrier for the delivery of liposomal drugs. The uptake of liposomal content by macrophages can be promoted by incorporation of ligands capable of interacting with macrophage surface receptors. Therefore, carbohydrate-based molecules for targeted drug and gene delivery must be developed for rational therapy. In this article, we report the synthesis of glycolipid conjugates for applications in liposomal drug delivery systems and for targeting drugs and genes to receptors.
