General description

1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (14:0 EPC) is an acyl cationic lipid. O-alkyl phosphatidylcholines constitute the first chemically stable tri-esters of biological lipid structures and the first cationic derivatives of phospholipids consisting entirely of biological metabolites linked with ester bonds. The lipid has low toxicity and is biodegradable.

Application

1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (14:0 EPC (Cl Salt)) is suitable for use in liposome formulations.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Synthetic cationic lipids serve as non-viral gene delivery agents. Change in the hydrocarbon chain of phosphatidylcholine (PC) derivatives affects transfection efficiency. 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (14:0 EPC) aids in hydration during the formation of liposomes.

The synthesis and in vitro evaluation of four cationic lipid gene delivery vectors, characterized by acyclic or macrocyclic, and saturated or unsaturated hydrophobic regions, is described. The synthesis employed standard protocols, including ring-closing metathesis for macrocyclic lipid construction. All lipoplexes

Some mixtures of two cationic lipids including phospholipid compounds (O-ethylphosphatidylcholines) as well as common, commercially available cationic lipids, such as dimethylammonium bromides and trimethylammonium propanes, deliver therapeutic DNA considerably more efficiently than do the separate molecules. In an effort to
