| Abstract: | The paper describes a novel synthesis of cholest-5-en-3 beta-yl-6-aminohexyl ether (AH-Chol). AH-Chol was used to prepare positively charged liposomes. The liposomes consisted of phospholipon 90H and the cationic cholesterol derivative in an equimolar ratio. Liposome preparation was achieved by membrane homogenization after rehydration of a dry lipid film. Oligonucleotides (ODN) were adsorbed to the cationic liposomes very efficiently. At an ODN/liposome ratio of 1:5 (10:50 micrograms/ml) 84.2 +/- 5.4% of the ODNs were bound to the liposomal membrane. Within the range of 1:40 and 1:100 charge neutralization occurred and the liposome dispersion showed an increase in particle size due to aggregation. Below or above this range of charge neutralization the ODN loaded liposome preparation was physically stable, no sedimentation, increase of vesicle size or vesicle aggregation occurred. |
