The invention features an improved lipid formulation comprising a cationic lipid of formula (A), a neutral lipid, a sterol and a PEG or PEG-modified lipid, where R and R are independently alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl, each can be optionally substituted, and R and R are independently lower alkyl or R and R can be taken together to form an optionally subsituted heterocyclic ring. In one embodiment, R and R are independently selected from oleoyl, pamitoyl, steroyl, linoleyl and R and R are methyl. Also disclosed are targeting lipids, and specific lipid formulations comprising such targeting lipids. |
