Synthesis of a Precursor for a Carotenoid Cationic Lipid
Abstract
The goal of this work was the synthesis of a carotenoid cationic lipid for the research of carriers of nucleic acids into defective cells via transfection therapy. In the course of this project a precursor for the carotenoid cationic lipid was successfully obtained, but because of the limited time the synthesis of the carotenoid cationic lipid itself was not performed.
