A persulfated molecular umbrella, derived from cholic acid and spermidine, has been covalently attached to H-Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-D-Leu-OH (DADLE) by use of an o-dithiobenzyl carbamate linkage. Treatment of the resulting conjugate (1) with glutathione in solution resulted in the liberation of the free form of the peptide. Addition of 1 to glutathione-entrapped liposomes, prepared from 1-palmitoyl-2-oleyol-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG), and cholesterol [POPC/POPG/cholesterol, 72/4/24 (mol/mol/mol)], resulted in the delivery of DADLE into their aqueous interior.
