Novel neutral imidazole-lipophosphoramides for transfection assays

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Jul 21:(27):3124-6. doi: 10.1039/b805226c. Epub 2008 Jun 16.

Abstract

New helper lipids, possessing an imidazole polar head, have been synthesized and included in formulations for transfection assays; these new helper lipids can improve the transfection by a factor of up to 100 compared to the use of DOPE as co-lipid.
