Application

Cholesteryl 3β-N-(di­methyl­amino­ethyl)­carbamate hydrochloride has been used as a bilayer-membrane stabiliser and for nucleic acid transfer.
This cationic cholesterol derivative forms liposomes with L-α-phosphatidylethanolamine, dioleoyl, that efficiently transfect mammalian cell lines.

Cationic liposomes are being utilized for the delivery of DNA into mammalian cells both in vitro and in vivo. In this report, we describe a rapid, simple injection method for the preparation of cationic liposomes that requires no special equipment.

Gene therapy, 3(11), 1026-1031 (1996-11-01)
An attempt was made to use simple cationic liposomes DC-Chol/DOPE and DDAB/DOPE (DC-Chol is 3 beta (N(N',N-dimethylaminoethane) carbamoyl) cholesterol, DDAB is dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide and DOPE is dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine) for transfer of Escherichia coli cytosine deaminase 'suicide' gene under the control

Neurochemical research, 24(5), 699-703 (1999-05-27)
Cationic lipid formulations consisting of 3beta [N-(N', N'-dimethylaminoethane)-carbamoyl] cholesterol (DC-Chol) and the helper lipid dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) (1.5: 1 molar ratio) were prepared by solvent evaporation and sized by high pressure extrusion.
