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.
