Description: DC-Chol (hydrochloride) has been shown to have potential as a nanocarrier for nucleic acids and drug therapies. DC-cholesterol is a derivative of cholesterol with a quarternary amine salt attached via the 3-C position. DC-cholesterol can be combined with DOPE (850725) to produce powerful liposomes. DC-Chol (hydrochloride) is a derivative of cholesterol with a tertiary amine group. DC-cholesterol can be combined with DOPE (850725) to form cationic liposomes that can be used as intracellular delivery nanocarrier for nucleic acids.
