N-ethyl-N,N-dimethyl-2,3-bis(stearoyloxy)propan-1-aminium iodide is a cationic lipid composed of a permanently charged quaternary ammonium headgroup attached to a glycerol-derived backbone bearing two long saturated fatty acyl chains. It behaves like a classical dialkyl quaternary ammonium surfactant with strong membrane affinity, high hydrophobicity, and robust cationic surface charge.
