Abstract: The present invention relates to the cationic lipid cordiaroimide hybrid compounds of formula I. The present invention provides a process for preparation of these compounds is also being elaborated. The compounds described provides anticancerous activity against cell lines including PC-3 (prostate cancer), HepG2 (liver cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer) and NIH-1/3T3 (non cancer cells. The compound was also capable of inducing caspase-3 mediated apoptosis in HepG2 cells by arresting the cell cycle in the G1 phase. Furthermore, the compound exhibited DNA ligase I inhibition. The present class of cationic lipid cordiarimide hybrids is likely to find specific use in developing novel targeted therapies for liver and prostate cancers.

Abstract: A process for producing a targeted gene and/or drug delivery system for liver cells comprising the steps of: i. chemical reduction of Sendai virus for reduction of HN protein; ii. subjecting the reduced virus to the step of dialysis for removal of the reducing agent; iii. solubilizing the reduced virus with a detergent to obtain a solution; iv. centrifuging the solution to separate the insolubles consisting of reduced HN protein and core of said virus; v. adding histidylated lipid to the supernatant; vi. adding the drug or gene after addition of the lipid; vii. removing the detergent from the envelope and then subjecting it to the step of centrifugation to obtain His lipid F-virosomes with entrapped drug or DNA.
