cationic polyglyceryl compositions and compounds. The present invention relates to polyglyceryl compositions comprising one or more polyglyceryl compounds having: (a) a knot structure comprising at least three contiguous glyceryl residue units; (b) one or more cationic groups, each attached to the node structure by an independently selected linking group; and (c) one or more hydrophobic moieties, each independently (i) attached to the node structure by a linking group or (ii) constituting an orion of one of one or more cationic groups, the composition having a degree Polymerization average determined by the hydroxyl value test (dpoh) from about 3 to about 20. Also provided are polyglyceryl compounds which may comprise such compositions, and uses of the compositions and polyglyceryl compounds. |
