N-(2,3-bis(stearoyloxy)propyl)-N,N-dimethyldecan-1-aminium iodide is a cationic, tri-tailed synthetic lipid with two stearic acid (C18:0) ester chains, a quaternary ammonium headgroup bearing a decyl substituent and Iodide as the counterion. It forms stable cationic bilayers, exhibits strong electrostatic interactions with anionic biomolecules, and serves as a model or functional component in lipid formulations and membrane research.
