Novel cationic amphiphiles are provided that facilitate transport of biologically active (therapeutic) molecules into cells. By this invention, such cationic amphiphile is used in a state in which it is capable of accepting additional protons, i.e., it is not fully protonated. For purposes of this invention, cationic amphiphiles may be considered to encompass four general categories: (A) T-shaped/steroid-based amphiphiles; (B) T-shaped/non steroid-based amphiphiles; (C) non T-shaped/steroid based amphiphiles and (D) non T-shaped/non steroid-based amphiphiles.
