Esters of L-carnitine of alkanoyl L-carnitines useful as cationic lipids for the intracellular delivery of pharmacologically active compounds

摘要

Esters of L-carnitine and alkanoyl L-carnitines are described which can be used as cationic lipids for the intracellular delivery of pharmacologically active compounds. New esters of L-carnitine and alkanoyl L-carnitines of formula (I) are also disclosed wherein the R groups are as defined in the description.
