Effect of Hydrophobic Groups on Antimicrobial and Hemolytic Activity: Developing a Predictive Tool for Ternary Antimicrobial Polymers

Abstract: Antimicrobial polymers have emerged as a potential solution to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. Although several studies have examined the effects of various parameters on the antimicrobial and hemolytic activity of statistical copolymers, there are still numerous parameters to be explored. Therefore, in this study, we developed a library of 36 statistical amphiphilic ternary copolymers prepared via photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer polymerization t… Show more

“…36,37 They can also exhibit antimicrobial, self-cleaning, and anti-biofouling properties since the low adhesive forces and rough topographies reduce the contact area between an implant and its surroundings. 53 For example, DLC-modified HDPE is utilized in coronary stents due to its antithrombotic properties. 54 The sp 2 and sp 3 content of a hard carbon surface affect its contact angle value.…”

“…The hydrophobicity of a polymer is one of the critical parameters determining its biological activity. 55 The QAD polymers were highly hydrophobic with negligible water solubility owing to their long alkyl pendant group. 56 The hydrophobicity of the…”

“…Researchers throughout the world have developed numerous polymeric architecture including random copolymers, block copolymers, homopolymers, zwitterionic, and branched polymers with different polymeric backbone, such as polynorbornenes/oxanorbornenes ( Figure 2 A), [ 78–84 ] polymethacrylate/polyacrylates (Figure 2B), [ 85–91 ] poly‐ β −lactam (Figure 2C), [ 92–95 ] polymaleimides (Figure 2D), [ 95–100 ] glycosylated cationic block co‐beta‐peptides (Figure 2E), [ 101 ] polycarbonates (Figure 2F), [ 102–107 ] polyamides, [ 108 ] poly(benzyl ether)s, [ 109 ] polyionenes, [ 110,111 ] poly(2‐oxazoline), [ 112,113 ] and many other polymeric amphiphiles (Figure 2). [ 114–130 ] Readers can follow development of antimicrobial polymers which have been extensively covered in several earlier review article. [ 30,32,131–137 ] Herein, we will focus on the development antimicrobial polymers which exert their antimicrobial activity through the formation of nanoaggregates with some prominent experimental evidences.…”
