N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-2,3-bis(stearoyloxy)propan-1-aminium methanesulfonate is a cationic, quaternary ammonium lipid composed of a polar, positively charged headgroup and two long hydrophobic stearate chains. It behaves as a cationic lipid surfactant with strong membrane-associating properties, useful in contexts where a stable, positively charged amphiphile with long saturated chains is needed.
