A cathode active material for a lithium secondary battery includes a lithium metal oxide particle and a thio-based compound formed on at least portion of a surface of the lithium metal oxide particle. The thio-based compound has a double bond that contains a sulfur atom. Chemical stability of the lithium metal oxide particle may be improved and surface residues may be reduced by the thio-based compound.

The present invention relates to a cationic lipid having one or more biodegradable groups located in a lipidic moiety (e.g., a hydrophobic chain) of the cationic lipid. These cationic lipids may be incorporated into a lipid particle for delivering an active agent, such as a nucleic acid. The invention also relates to lipid particles comprising a neutral lipid, a lipid capable of reducing aggregation, a cationic lipid of the present invention, and optionally, a sterol. The lipid particle may further include a therapeutic agent such as a nucleic acid.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a biomaterial having selectively functionalized tyrosine, a biomaterial having selectively functionalized tyrosine, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same as an active ingredient. The method for preparing a biomaterial to which a compound represented by formula 2 is coupled, of the present invention, allows the compound represented by formula 2 to be selectively coupled, in a high yield in a biomaterial, to tyrosine, which is present on the surface of an aqueous solution such that the coupling thereof to amino acids other than tyrosine does not occur and, when only one tyrosine is present, heterogeneous mixtures are not present and the inherent activity of the biomaterial is maintained, and thus the compound can be effectively used as a pharmaceutical composition containing a biomaterial drug as an active ingredient. In addition, the method can selectively functionalize tyrosine, and thus can be effectively used for tyrosine functionalization in a biomaterial.
