The present invention provides novel amide-based cationic lipids of the general structure:
1
or a salt, or solvate, or enantiomers thereof wherein; (a) Y is a direct link or an alkylene of 1 to about 20 carbon atoms; (b) R
1
is H or a lipophilic moiety; (c) R
2
, R
3
, and R
4
are positively charged moieties, or at least one but not all of R
2
, R
3
, or R
4
, is a positive moiety and the remaining are independently selected from H, an alkyl moiety of 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, or a heterocyclic moiety of about 5 to about 10 carbon atoms; (d) n and p are independently selected integers from 0 to 8, such that the sum of n and o is from 1 to 16; (e) X
−
is an anion or polyanion and (f) m is an integer from 0 to a number equivalent to the positive charge(s) present on the lipid; provided that if Y is a direct link and the sum of n and p is 1 then one of either R
3
or R
4
must have an alkyl moiety of at least 10 carbon atoms.
The present invention further provides compositions of these lipids with polyanionic macromolecules, methods for interfering with protein expression in a cell utilizing these compositions and a kit for preparing the same.
本发明提供了一般结构的新型酰胺基阳离子脂:
