Abstract: A lipid particle can include a plurality of cationic lipids, such as a first cationic lipid and a second cationic lipid. The first cationic lipid can be selected on the basis of a first property and the second cationic can be selected on the basis of a second property. The first and second properties are complementary. The attributes of the lipid particle can reflect the selected properties of the cationic lipids, and the complementary nature of those properties.

Abstract: A lipid particle can include a cationic lipid. The cationic lipid can include one or more hydrophobic tails, which can include one or more sites of unsaturation. The sites of unsaturation can include cycloalkyl groups, e.g., cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, or cyclohexyl groups. The lipid particle is suitable for delivering an active agent.
