Acid-sensitive liposomes composed of unsaturated phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) are efficient vehicles for cytoplasmic delivery of the target cells. We have recently shown that liposomes composed of dioleoyl-PE (DOPE) and dipalmitoylsuccinylglycerol DPSG retain the acid-sensitivity after exposure to human plasma. In the present work, we have extended these observations to investigate the role of ganglioside GM1on the blood residence time of these liposomes. Small (d≈ 100nm) unilamellar liposomes composed of DOPE and DPSG (4:1, molar ratio) became progressively less acid-sensitivie when increasing amounts of GM1were included in the lipid composition. However, partial sensitivity to acid (40–50% release of entrapped contents at pH 4) could be retained up to 5% GM1, even for liposomes which had been exposed to human plasma. Inclusion of GM1in the lipid composition only slightly increased the release of entrapped contents in the presence of human plasma. The biodistribution of i.v. injected GM1-containing liposomes was studied by following the entrapped125I-labeled tyraminylinulin marker in Balb/c mice. Inclusion of up to 5% GM1showed a transient increase in the blood level and a concomitant decrease of liver and spleen uptake of liposomes. Thus, these liposomes are pH-sensitive, plasma-stable and show a relatively prolonged residence time in circulation. They are potentially significant drug carriers in vivo.
