N-(2,3-bis(icosanoyloxy)propyl)-N,N-dimethylprop-2-yn-1-aminium bromide is a cationic, long-chain amphiphilic lipid featuring two C20:0 (icosanoyl) saturated tails → rigid, thermally stable bilayers, a permanently charged quaternary ammonium headgroup, a click-reactive alkyne for post-synthetic functionalization and a bromide counterion for charge balance. It forms stable, positively charged, click-reactive bilayers, ideal for advanced liposome formulations, bioconjugation, and membrane studies where controlled chemical reactivity and high bilayer rigidity are desired.
