This invention relates to cationic lipids. More particularly the invention relates to biodegradable cationic lipids having a plurality of cationic headgroups and one or more lipophilic tail groups. The lipids are of utility in various applications, and in particular in permitting transfection of molecules, and in particular DNA and RNA, into cells. As such the lipids have specific utility in the field of gene therapy as well as other applications such as delivery of small molecules into cells, detergents, and metal ion complexation for medical or industrial applications.
这项发明涉及阳离子脂质。更具体地,该发明涉及具有多个阳离子头基和一个或多个亲脂尾基的可生物降解阳离子脂质。这些脂质在各种应用中具有实用性,特别是在允许分子转染,特别是DNA和RNA,进入细胞方面。因此,这些脂质在基因治疗领域以及其他应用中具有特定的实用性,如将小分子输送到细胞中、洗涤剂以及医疗或工业应用中的金属离子络合。
