YIGSR peptide anchored sterically stabilized liposomes (YIGSR-SL) were investigated for selective and preferential presentation of carrier contents at angiogenic endothelial cells overexpressing laminin receptors on and around tumor tissue and thus for assessing their targetabilty. In vitro endothelial cell binding of liposomes exhibited 7-fold higher binding of YIGSR-SL to HUVEC in comparison to the nontargeted sterically stabilized liposomes (SL). Spontaneous lung metastasis and angiogenesis assays show that YIGSR peptide anchored liposomes are significantly (P
