Provided are an ionizable lipid compound with an adjacent cis-double bond structure, a preparation method therefor, and the use thereof in the delivery of an active therapeutic agent (e.g., a nucleic acid). The ionizable lipid compound can provide a higher encapsulation rate of active substances and a better cell or in vivo transfection rate, and is particularly suitable for preparing nanoparticles with a solid structure.

The present invention relates to sphingolipids, a method for the production of sphingoid bases, especially sphingosine, and novel derivatives thereof. The sphingoid bases are herein produced by making use of a vinylogous amide-type protecting group. The resulting vinylogous amide compounds enable an easy and effective production of sphingoid bases, especially sphingosine. ##STR00001##

In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to click-functional antimicrobial molecules (including small molecules or, in some cases, macromolecules) and the construction of antimicrobial polymers such as polyurethanes, polyesters, and polyacrylates, including through the use of such molecules. In some cases, the antimicrobial click-functional molecules are based on 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT), trimethylguanidine or tetramethylguanidine (TMG), polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG), fluorine-containing molecules, or a combination thereof. For example, 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT) functionalized with an alkyne (BIT-Al), trimethylguanidine or tetramethylguanidine (TMG) functioned with an alkyne (TMG-Al) or dual alkynes (TMG-dAl), and/or polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) functionalized with an alkyne (PHMG-Al) are described herein. Clickable antimicrobial polymers can be used to form coatings or films.
