Transfektionsreagenzien

1,2-Dioleyloxy-3-dimethylamino-propane is a cationic lipid containing the unsaturated long-chain (18:1) oleic acid inserted at both the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It has been used in the composition of lipospomes formulated as stable nucleic acid lipid particles that can encapsulate siRNA or other small molecules to be used for drug delivery.

1,2-Dioleoyl-3-trimethylammoniumpropane (DOTAP) is a cationic liposome-forming compound used for transfection of DNA, RNA, and other negatively charged molecules into eukaryotic cells. It has been used in the composition of small unilamellar liposomes formulated as a gene delivery vectors for gene therapy.
