Abstract
Back Cover: Synthetic polymers mimicking antimicrobial peptides show potent activity but high toxicity. This study's cationic ionenes, modified with a PEG side chain, exhibited high antimicrobial activity and reduced toxicity. Remarkably, lower molecular weight increased antifungal activity, with MICs as low as 2 and 0.0625 µg/mL for C. albicans and C. tropicalis. More details can be found in article 2400032 by Dominik Jańczewski and co-workers.
