N-(2,3-bis(dodecanoyloxy)propyl)-N,N-dimethylprop-2-yn-1-aminium bromide is a medium-chain, cationic, click-functional lipid. It features two C12 saturated acyl chains (dodecanoyl) for moderate bilayer stability and fluidity, a permanent quaternary ammonium headgroup (positively charged), a propargyl (alkyne) substituent for click chemistry modification and a bromide counterion. It forms positively charged, moderately fluid bilayers ideal for functional liposomes, surface-conjugated nanoparticles, and membrane model systems requiring chemical tunability and electrostatic activity.
