N-(2,3-bis(dodecanoyloxy)propyl)-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium iodide is a cationic, amphiphilic lipid containing two C12 esterified fatty acid tails, a permanently charged quaternary ammonium headgroup with a C10 alkyl substituent and Iodide as the counterion. It is structurally similar to synthetic lipids used in gene delivery, nanocarrier formulation, and membrane mimic studies, functioning as a stable cationic surfactant or lipid bilayer component.
