Abstract

The present invention provides targeting lipids of structure where L 100 is a lipid, lipophile, alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl, L 101 is a ligand or —CH 2 CH 2 (OCH 2 CH 2 ) p O(CH 2 ) q CH 2 -ligand, p is 1-1000, and q is 1-20. In addition, the invention provides compositions and methods for the delivery of therapeutic agents to cells. In particular, these include novel lipids and nucleic acid-lipid particles that provide efficient encapsulation of nucleic acids and efficient delivery of the encapsulated nucleic acid to cells in vivo.
