Synthesis of Novel Thiol-Reactive Amphiphilic Lipids Based on Cholesterol for Protein-Liposome CouplingSynthese neuartiger thiol-reaktiver amphiphiler Lipide auf Cholesterolbasis für die Kopplung von Proteinen an Liposomen
The synthesis of a series of coupling lipids designed for covalently linking proteins to liposomes is described. The new compounds have in common a cholesterylsuccinyl unit as a lipid anchor and a thiol-reactive maleimidobenzoyl unit which are linked by alkyl or (poly)ethylene glycol spacers that differ in length and polarity.
