Cationic liposomes are widely used as carriers of biomolecules specifically targeted to the cell nucleus. p-Boronphenylalanine (BPA) is a powerful anti-tumor agent for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). In this paper, H-1 and C-13 NMR was used to study the insertion of BPA in mixed liposomes, made up by the positively charged 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP) and the zwitterionic 1,2-diolcoyi-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE). The boronated drug was distributed between the water phase and the liposomes. The location site of BPA into the lipid bilayer was investigated and the boron-substituted aromatic ring was found inserted in the hydrophobic region, whereas the amino acidic group was oriented towards the aqueous environment. Further information was given by proton spin-lattice relaxation rates. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
