Cationic Methacrylate Polymers as Topical Antimicrobial Agents against Staphylococcus aureus Nasal Colonization
The in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activity of primary ammonium ethyl methacrylate homopolymers (AEMPs) was investigated. AEMPs with different degrees of polymerization (DP = 7.7-12) were prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The AEMPs showed higher inhibitory effects against Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus...
متن کاملCationic Antimicrobial Polymers and Their Assemblies
Cationic compounds are promising candidates for development of antimicrobial agents. Positive charges attached to surfaces, particles, polymers, peptides or bilayers have been used as antimicrobial agents by themselves or in sophisticated formulations. The main positively charged moieties in these natural or synthetic structures are quaternary ammonium groups, resulting in quaternary ammonium c...
متن کاملQuaternary ammonium N,N-dichloroamines as topical, antimicrobial agents.
A series of backbone modified and sulfonic acid replacement analogs of our topical, clinical candidate (iii) were synthesized. Their antimicrobial activities and aqueous stabilities at pH 4 and pH 7 were determined, and has led us to identify quaternary ammonium N,N-dichloroamines as a new class of topical antimicrobial agents.
متن کاملAntiendotoxin activity of cationic peptide antimicrobial agents.
The endotoxin from gram-negative bacteria consists of a molecule lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which can be shed by bacteria during antimicrobial therapy. A resulting syndrome, endotoxic shock, is a leading cause of death in the developed world. Thus, there is great interest in the development of antimicrobial agents which can reverse rather than promote sepsis, especially given the recent disappoin...
