Cover Story: α,ε-N,N’-di-stearoyl lysine-based amide lipids, carrying a variety of head groups, were co-formulated in liposomes and determined to have specific chemical and biological activities. The inclusion of a lipid A-binding ligand (polymyxin B nonapeptide) in liposomes specifically targeted Gram-negative Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria, but not Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. Sialic acid incorporation improved phagocytosis resistance of liposomes, as indicated by slower liposome uptake by human leukemia monocytic THP-1 cells. Additionally, in a mouse model, the sialic acid-containing liposomes, as an alternative to PEGylation, exhibited favorable biodistribution and longer retention time than comparable phospholipid-only liposomes. View this paper
