Caffeine and Cationic Copolymers with Antimicrobial Properties
One of the primary global health concerns is the increase in antimicrobial resistance. Polymer chemistry enables the preparation of macromolecules with hydrophobic and cationic side chains that kill bacteria by destabilizing their membranes. In the current study, macromolecules are prepared by radical copolymerization of caffeine methacrylate as the hydrophobic monomer and cationic- or zwitterionic-methacrylate monomers. The synthesized copolymers bearing tert-butyl-protected carboxybetaine as cationic side chains showed antibacterial activity toward Gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli). By tuning the hydrophobic content, we prepared copolymers with optimal antibacterial activity against S. aureus, including methicillin-resistant clinical isolates. Moreover, the caffeine–cationic copolymers presented good biocompatibility in a mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line, NIH 3T3, and hemocompatibility with erythrocytes even at high hydrophobic monomer content (30–50%). Therefore, incorporating caffeine and introducing tert-butyl-protected carboxybetaine as a quaternary cation in polymers could be a novel strategy to combat bacteria.
期刊介绍:
ACS Bio & Med Chem Au is a broad scope open access journal which publishes short letters comprehensive articles reviews and perspectives in all aspects of biological and medicinal chemistry. Studies providing fundamental insights or describing novel syntheses as well as clinical or other applications-based work are welcomed.This broad scope includes experimental and theoretical studies on the chemical physical mechanistic and/or structural basis of biological or cell function in all domains of life. It encompasses the fields of chemical biology synthetic biology disease biology cell biology agriculture and food natural products research nucleic acid biology neuroscience structural biology and biophysics.The journal publishes studies that pertain to a broad range of medicinal chemistry including compound design and optimization biological evaluation molecular mechanistic understanding of drug delivery and drug delivery systems imaging agents and pharmacology and translational science of both small and large bioactive molecules. Novel computational cheminformatics and structural studies for the identification (or structure-activity relationship analysis) of bioactive molecules ligands and their targets are also welcome. The journal will consider computational studies applying established computational methods but only in combination with novel and original experimental data (e.g. in cases where new compounds have been designed and tested).Also included in the scope of the journal are articles relating to infectious diseases research on pathogens host-pathogen interactions therapeutics diagnostics vaccines drug-delivery systems and other biomedical technology development pertaining to infectious diseases.
