Liposomes from a new chiral cationic lipid based on iridoidic template

A new cationic polyhydroxylated lipid, characterized by a chiral template, was synthesized. It conics from an iridoid glucoside, as polyhydroxylated moiety. This lipid affords liposomes using cholesterol-like co-lipid. The liposomes had a spheroidal shape with a small size distribution.
