Sodium benzyl (2,3-bis(icosanoyloxy)propyl) phosphate is a long-chain anionic lipid with two C20 saturated acyl chains and a benzyl-protected phosphate headgroup. It forms rigid, negatively charged bilayers suitable for liposome and membrane model systems, and the benzyl group can be removed to expose a free phosphate for functionalization or cationic interactions.
