A Cationic Amphiphilic Random Copolymer with pH-Responsive Activity against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
In this report, we demonstrate the pH-dependent, in vitro antimicrobial activity of a cationic, amphiphilic random copolymer against clinical isolates of drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The polymer was developed toward a long-term goal of potential utility in the treatment of skin infections. The proposed mechanism of action of the polymer is through selectively binding to bacterial membr...
متن کاملpH-responsive copolymer films by surface-catalyzed growth.
We have engineered a new class of pH-responsive polymer films on gold surfaces by first developing a controlled, surface-catalyzed polymerization to prepare a copolymer film consistent with poly(methylene-co-ethyl acetate) and subsequently hydrolyzing the ester side chains to varying extents to yield carboxylic acids (denoted as PM-CO2H). When pH is increased, the acid groups become deprotonate...
متن کاملSteric stabilization of liposomes by pH-responsive N-isopropylacrylamide copolymer.
The aim of this study was to characterize a pH-sensitive liposome formulation bearing a terminally alkylated N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) copolymer with regard to its pH responsiveness, surface properties, and pharmacokinetics. The interacting forces between two lipid bilayers bearing the anchored NIPAM copolymer were measured with a surface force apparatus. The pH-triggered content release wa...
متن کاملA facile route to design pH-responsive viscoelastic wormlike micelles: Smart use of hydrotropes.
A simple and effective route to design pH-responsive viscoelastic wormlike micelles based on commercial compounds is reported. According to this route, pH-sensitive viscoelastic fluids can be easily obtained by introducing a pH-responsive hydrotrope into a surfactant solution. In this paper, the mixed system of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and potassium phthalic acid (PPA) was studied ...
متن کاملDextran-b-poly(L-histidine) copolymer nanoparticles for ph-responsive drug delivery to tumor cells
PURPOSE Nanoparticles based on stimuli-sensitive drug delivery have been extensively investigated for tumor targeting. Among them, pH-responsive drug targeting using pH-sensitive polymers has attracted attention because solid tumors have an acidic environment. A dextran-b-poly(L-histidine) (DexPHS) copolymer was synthesized and pH-responsive nanoparticles were fabricated for drug targeting. M...
