New cationic lipids are provided that are useful for delivering macromolecules, such as nucleic acids, into eukaryotic cells. The lipids can be used alone, in combination with other lipids and/or in combination with other transfection enhancing reagents to prepare transfection complexes. The present invention is in the field of molecular biology, and more particularly in the field of transfection, which utilizes new compounds and methods for the introduction of nucleic acids into eukaryotic cells.
本研究提供了可用于将核酸等大分子递送到真核细胞中的新型阳离子脂质。这些脂质可单独使用,也可与其它脂质结合使用,和/或与其它转染增强试剂结合使用,以制备转染复合物。本发明属于
分子生物学领域,尤其是转染领域,它利用新的化合物和方法将核酸导入真核细胞。
