title: Lipid analog with 2-nitrophenol trigger designed for liposome fusion at physiological pH.
abstract: A novel lipid analog with two long alkyl (C16) chains, an aspartate skeleton, a connecting alkyl (C8) chain, and 2-nitrophenol trigger group is synthesized by an efficient synthetic route, which can induce liposome fusion at physiological pH.
