The present invention provides a liposomal composition for targeted delivery
of drugs. The composition comprises large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) encapsulating
poloxamers and one or more delivery agents. The composition and concentration of
the poloxamer inside the LUVs is such that upon heating to temperatures above the
critical micellar temperature of the poloxamer, the LUVs becomes leaky causing
release of the encapsulated drug. The present invention also provides a method
for delivery of agents to targeted sites and a method for preparing the LUVs suitable
for use according to the method described herein.
