Applications Cationic amphiphiles are being studied for their potential role in preparing liposomes for interaction with artificial and biological membranes and cellular transfection techniques. Cationic species with ester linkages to the hydrophobic portion are more easily degraded by recipient cells and more efficiently metabolized.

Applications Cholesterol (C432501) derivative. Cholesterol is a major component of all biological membranes; ~25% of total brain lipid is Cholesterol. Cholesterol is the principal sterol of the higher animals. Cholesterol was found in all body tissues, especial in the brain, spinal cord, and in animal fats or oils. Cholesterol is the main constituent of gallstones.
