General description
1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (12:0 EPC) is a cationic phospholipid. 12:0 EPC is a short-chain analog of dioleoyl ethylphosphatidylcholine. O-alkyl phosphatidylcholines constitute the first chemically stable triesters 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-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (12:0 EPC (Cl Salt)) is suitable for use in lipoplex preparation and to study the lipoplex transfection activity. It might also be used in lipid mixtures to study its cubic phases of formation, stability and phase transitions.
Biochem/physiol Actions
1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (12:0 EPC) is preferred for transfection of cultured primary endothelial cells. 12:0 EPC forms lamellar lipoplexes possessing high to superior transfection activity. Chemically synthesized cationic lipids are applicable as non-viral gene carriers. Variation in the hydrocarbon chain of phosphatidylcholine (PC) derivatives affects transfection efficiency.

A combination of two cationic lipid derivatives having the same headgroup but tails of different chain lengths has been shown to have considerably different transfection activity than do the separate molecules. Such findings point to the importance of investigating the

The non-lamellar phases formed by membrane lipids in diluted aqueous dispersions are mainly represented by the inverted hexagonal phase, HII, and phases of cubic symmetry, among them the bicontinuous cubic phases Pn3m (Q224), Im3m (Q229) and Ia3d (Q230). Here we

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

To date, the primary approach to improving the transfection properties of cationic lipids has been the synthesis of new kinds of cationic amphipaths. Recently, however, it was found that combining two cationic lipid derivatives having the same head group but
