pubmed-article:11677122 | pubmed:abstractText | Novel cationic amphiphiles, based on lithocholic acid derivatives with two structural motifs, anchoring lipids and bola lipids, were designed and synthesized. Both bear extended hydrophobic space-filling substituents. A significant effect of the orientation and extension of hydrophobic regions around the ether linkage at the 3-position was found on the efficiency of DNA delivery. | lld:pubmed |
