2-Aminoethyl (R)-23-Bis(oleoyloxy)propyl Hydrogen Phosphate

12-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) forms heterogenous liposomes with N-[1-(23-dioleoyloxy)propyl]-NNN-trimethylammonium methylsulfate (DOTAP) which are used as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents.

For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

12-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) is a synthetic analog of naturally-occurring PE containing 181 fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. DOPE can be used as an emulsifier to facilitate DNA-liposome complex transport across membranes. It is used in combination with cationic phospholipids to increase efficiency during DNA transfection studies as a non-viral method of gene delivery.
