Abstract
An approach was developed to synthesize a new class of cationic cardiolipin analogues containing two quaternary ammonium groups with tetra alkyl groups retaining “glycerol” moiety, the central core of the molecule. Cationic cardiolipin analogues were modified via introduction of either two or four oxyethylene groups to enhance the solubility in polar solvents. These newly synthesized cationic cardiolipin analogues can be applied to a broad range of drug delivery systems such as transfection reagents.
