Abstract

The present invention relates to new polyamide oligomers. These oligomers can be conjugated to lipids, nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, etc. The oligomer-lipid conjugates can be used to form liposomes, virusomes, micelles, etc., optionally containing drugs or biological agents. The polyamide oligomers are heterobifunctional allowing the attachment of other suitable ligand compounds (e.g., a targeting moiety). In addition, methods of use for the liposomes, virusomes, micelles, etc., are provided.
