Abstract
Severe burn injuries with massive dermal loss are often underestimated despite their significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Resembling the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dressings have been extensively explored as suitable candidates for burn wound treatment. However, native HA hydrogel's limitations, such as low mechanical strength, rapid degradation, and uncontrollable drug delivery, hinder its efficacy, especially for full-thickness burns requiring injectable hydrogels with robust antibacterial and angiogenic capabilities. Herein, we present a novel multifunctional sequential dual-curing hydrogel system, combining hyperbranched poly(DMA-DMAPMA-PEGDA) (DDP) polymer with thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA-SH). The DDP copolymer, featuring multi-vinyls and catechol functionalities, facilitates two curing reactions taking place sequentially with HA-SH under physiological conditions, balancing convenient injection with the mechanical strength essential for effective wound management. Furthermore, the resulting DDP/HA hydrogels demonstrate enhanced therapeutic attributes, including intrinsic angiogenic and antimicrobial effects, setting them as promising dressing options for deep burn wound therapy.

Abstract
Developing coating materials with low cytotoxicity and high antimicrobial activity has been recognized as an effective way to prevent medical device-associated infections. In this study, a maleic anhydride terpolymer (PPTM) is synthesized and covalently attached to silicone rubber (SR) surface. The formed coating can be further cross-linked (SPM) through the self-condensation of pendent siloxane groups of terpolymer. No crack or delamination of SPM was observed after 500 cycles of bending and 7 day immersion in deionized water. The sliding friction force of a catheter was reduced by 50% after coating with SPM. The SPM coating without adding any extra antibacterial reagents can kill 99.99% of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and also significantly reduce bacterial coverage, while the coating displayed no antimicrobial activity when maleic anhydride groups of SPM were aminated or hydrolyzed. The results of the repeated disinfection tests showed that the SR coated with SPM could maintain 87.3% bactericidal activity within 5 cycles. Furthermore, the SPM coating only imparted slight toxic effect (>85% viability) on L929 cells after 36 h of coculture, which is superior to the coating of aminated SPM conjugated with the antimicrobial peptide E6. The terpolymer containing maleic anhydride units have great potential as a flexible and durable coating against implant infections.

Abstract
Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are proposed as suitable solution for the fabrication of biocompatible catheters with appropriate mechanical parameters and confirmed antibacterial and cytocompatible properties. For this purpose, a series of quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) and quaternary phosphonium salts (QPSs) based monomers were prepared followed by the determination of their minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). A combination of the most active ammonium (QAS-C14) and phosphonium (QPS-TOP) salts led to a MIC down to 2.4 μg/mL against S. aureus and 9 μg/mL against P. aeruginosa, corroborating the existence of a synergistic effect. These quaternary onium salt (QOS) units were successfully incorporated along the polymer chain, as part of a two-step synthesis approach. The resulting TPU-QOS materials were subsequently characterized through thermal, mechanical, and surface analyses. TPU-Mix (combining the most active QAS-C14 and QPS-TOP units) showed the highest antibacterial efficiency, confirming the synergistic effect between both QOS groups. Finally, an MTT assay on the SiHa cell line revealed the low cytotoxicity level of these polymeric films, making these materials suitable for biomedical application. To go one step further in the preindustrialization approach, proof of concept regarding the catheter prototype fabrication based on TPU-QAS/QPS was validated by extrusion.

Positively Charged Polymers as Promising Devices against Multidrug Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria: A Review. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12051195.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance has increased markedly in Gram-negative bacteria, causing severe infections intractable with traditional drugs and amplifying mortality and healthcare costs. Consequently, to find novel antimicrobial compounds, active on multidrug resistant bacteria, is mandatory. In this regard, cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs)—able to kill pathogens on contact—could represent an appealing solution. However, low selectivity, hemolytic toxicity and cost of manufacturing, hamper their massive clinical application. In the recent years—starting from CAMPs as template molecules—less toxic and lower-cost synthetic mimics of CAMPs, including cationic peptides, polymers and dendrimers, have been developed. Although the pending issue of hemolytic toxicity and biodegradability is still left not completely solved, cationic antimicrobial polymers (CAPs), compared to small drug molecules, thanks to their high molecular weight, own appreciable selectivity, reduced toxicity toward eukaryotic cells, more long-term activity, stability and non-volatility. With this background, an updated overview concerning the main manufactured types of CAPs, active on Gram-negative bacteria, is herein reported, including synthetic procedure and action’s mechanism. Information about their structures, antibacterial activity, advantages and drawbacks, was reported in the form of tables, which allow faster consultation and quicker learning concerning current CAPs state of the art, in order not to retrace reviews already available.

Abstract
We report initiated chemical vapor deposition of model-graded polymer coatings enabling antibacterial, antifouling, and biocompatible surfaces. The graded coating was constructed by a bottom layer consisting of bactericidal poly(dimethyl amino methyl styrene) and a surface layer consisting of both dimethyl amino methyl styrene (DMAMS) and hydrophilic vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) moieties. Fourier transform infrared spectra showed existence of both DMAMS and VP in the coating with DMAMS as the major component, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and water contact angle measurement revealed a VP-enriched coating surface. The resultant coating exhibited more than 99.9% killing rate against both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis despite the incorporation of VP on the surface. We believe that such bactericidal capability resulted because of its high surface zeta potential, which could be originated from the DMAMS units distributed both on the top surface and underneath. The graded coating achieved more than 85% bacterial fouling resistance than the pristine substrate, as well as improved biocompatibility, owing to the abundant surface lactam groups from the VP moiety. Furthermore, the graded coating maintained good bactericidal capability after multicycle challenges of bacterial solutions and was durable against continuous rigorous washing, suggesting potential applications in biomedical devices.

Abstract
In spite of p-doped conducting polymers having been widely studied in the last decades and many applications having been developed, studies based on n-doped conducting polymers are extremely scarce. This fact is even more evident when it comes to conducting polymers n-doped with polycations, even though polyanions, such as poly(styrenesulfonate), are often used to obtain p-doped conducting polymers. In this work poly(pyridinium-1,4-diyliminocarbonyl-1,4-phenylene-methylene chloride), abbreviated as P(Py-1,4-P), has been used to prepare n-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) electrodes by applying a reduction potential to a de-doped PEDOT film in a P(Py-1,4-P) water solution. The utilization of this cationic polyelectrolyte as an n-dopant agent results in drastic superficial changes, as is observed by comparing the morphology, topography and wettability of p-doped, de-doped and n-doped PEDOT. Cytotoxicity, cell adhesion and cell proliferation assays, which have been conducted using epithelial and fibroblast cell lines, show that the amount of P(Py-1,4-P) in the re-doped PEDOT films is below that required to observe a cytotoxic harmful response and that n-doped PEDOT:P(Py-1,4-P) films are biocompatible. The non-specific bacteriostatic properties of n-doped PEDOT:P(Py-1,4-P) films have been demonstrated against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria (Gram-negative and Gram-positive, respectively) using bacterial growth curves and adhesion assays. Although the bacteriostatic effect is in part due to the conducting polymer, as is proved by results for p-doped and de-doped PEDOT, the incorporation of P(Py-1,4-P) through the re-doping process greatly enhances this antimicrobial behaviour. Thus, only a small concentration of this cationic polyelectrolyte (∼0.1 mM) is needed to inhibit bacterial growth.

Abstract
Two series of amphiphilic antimicrobial copolymers containing ciprofloxacin (CPF) and amine functional groups have been synthesized via free-radical copolymerization. The chemical structures of the different amine groups and the copolymer compositions have been systematically varied to study how the structure of the copolymer exerts an influence on the antibacterial activity. The viability of Escherichia coli in the presence of antimicrobial copolymers was observed by confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM). CLSM as well as atomic-force microscopy (AFM) were applied to visualize changes in morphology of bacteria treated with antimicrobial copolymers and elucidate the antimicrobial mechanism of the antimicrobial copolymers. Morphological changes of bacteria observed via AFM and CLSM demonstrated that the antibacterial mechanism was due to the disruption of the bacterial membrane. The destruction of the cell membrane was also confirmed by the leakage of intracellular components, which had a strong absorbance at 260 nm. The inhibitory process was monitored by UV absorption dynamically.

Abstract
Antitumor peptides may potentially alleviate the problem of chemoresistance but do not yet target tumor cells and would be cytotoxic to normal cells. Here, we designed a pH-activated and thermosensitive lipopeptide (C6-Pep) containing a leucine zipper and an alkyl chain and assessed the ability of C6-Pep to kill cancer cells. Pep, the same sequence without the N-terminal hexanoic acid moiety, was generated as a less hydrophobic control. First, lipopeptide adsorption into lipid monolayers was studied using Langmuir-Blodgett and polarization modulation infrared reflection adsorption spectroscopy. Under weakly acid conditions, electrostatic interactions between C6-Pep and negatively charged phospholipids increased the adsorption/insertion of C6-Pep (vs Pep) into lipid monolayers. Cargo leakage from liposomes was assayed to model lipopeptide-induced lipid membrane disruption. The ability of C6-Pep to disrupt liposomes depended on the peptide molecular structure/hydrophobicity, solution pH, and temperature-induced uncoiling of the zipper structure; the greatest cargo leakage from the liposome with negative charge was observed for C6-Pep at pH 5.5 under mildly hyperthermic conditions (45 °C). In vitro, C6-Pep was significantly more cytotoxic toward HeLa cells at pH 5.5 under hyperthermic conditions than at pH 7.4 and/or 37 °C. Overall, this study demonstrates that amphipathic C6-Pep can insert into cell membranes in the low-pH tumor microenvironment, whereas the application of heat promotes the uncoiling of the zipper structure, leading to the disruption of tumor cell membranes and cell death. pH-activated and thermosensitive C6-Pep represents a promising tool to kill cancer cells via a strategy that does not invoke chemoresistance and may have low side effects.

Dent Mater 2016; 33:119-131. [PMID: 27887775 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2016.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2016] [Revised: 10/26/2016] [Accepted: 11/01/2016] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deterioration of mechanical strength for the dental composite containing ionic bactericidal compounds restricts the widespread utilization of this class of useful materials. This problem is originated from the reduction of the intermolecular interaction of polymeric network due to plasticization effect of absorbed water molecules penetrated between the chain segments. The main goal of this study is the synthesis of the highly efficient bactericidal additive with low hydrophilicity and consequently the least adverse effect on the final mechanical strength of the dental composite. METHODS The bactericidal 1, 2, 3-triazolium functional groups were chemically anchored on the surface of hydrophobic POSS nanoparticles (Triazolium-POSS) and incorporated into a dental restorative system composed of a ternary thiol-allyl ether-methacrylate resin and glass fillers. A similar system was also prepared, in which the POSS additive was replaced with quaternized dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate monomer (DMAEMA-BC). The chemical structure of POSS derivatives was evaluated by 1HNMR and FTIR spectra. The water uptake of dental composites was evaluated at days 1 and 14 after immersion into water. The bactericidal activity of composite specimens against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 35668) was determined based on ASTM E 2180 - 07. The flexural properties of samples were investigated through three-point bending assay and the shrinkage-strain of photo-cured resins was measured using the bonded-disk technique. The degree of conversion (DC %) of methacrylate functions was followed by FTIR spectroscopy. MTT assay was performed to investigate the cytocompatibility of samples. RESULTS Regardless of the partial increase in water uptake for Triazolium-POSS-containing sample, this parameter was much favor than the composite made from DMAEMA-BC. Therefore, the lower decline in flexural properties was recorded under the wet condition for the former system. Incorporation of Triazolium-POSS had no significant effect on shrinkage strain and cytocompatibility of composite specimen, meanwhile, a higher degree of conversion of methacrylate functional groups was recorded. The Triazolium-POSS-containing nano composite showed significantly higher bactericidal activity against Streptococcus mutans than another studied model system. SIGNIFICANCE The new derivative of bactericidal POSS nanoparticles decorated with 1, 2, 3-Triazolium moieties is a highly efficient bactericidal compound. If Triazolium-POSS is incorporated into a proper dental resin formulation, it can provide a strong bactericidal activity for dental materials; in the meantime, it leads to minimum deterioration of their mechanical strength due to its low water uptake.

Abstract
The rapid degradation of magnesium-based implants in physiological environments in vivo not only will quickly deteriorate their mechanical strengths but will also lead to a severe change of the micro-environment around the implants, which may cause the final failure of magnesium-based implants. In this work, a polycaprolactone (PCL) layer was prepared to seal the plasma electrolytic oxidization coating (PEO) to form a PEO/PCL composite coating on a biodegradable AZ31 magnesium alloy, followed by further surface functionalization with polydopamine. The in vitro degradation behaviors of the bare AZ31 alloy and coated samples were evaluated in a simulated body fluid (SBF) using the potentiodynamic polarization curve test and the static immersion test. The bioactivity of the samples was investigated using the SBF soaking test. The cytocompatibility of all samples was evaluated using the cytotoxicity test and analysis of the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) directly cultivated on the sample surface. The results showed that the PCL layer successfully sealed the pores of the PEO coating, and then the polydopamine layer formed on its surface. The in vitro degradation tests showed that the PEO/PCL composite coating improved the corrosion resistance of the AZ31 alloy in SBF with a more positive corrosion potential and a lower corrosion current density. Due to the protection of the PEO/PCL composite coating, the surrounding environment showed nearly no influence on the degradation of the coated sample, which led to no obvious local alkalization and hydrogen evolution. Moreover, compared with the AZ31 alloy and PEO coating, the PEO/PCL composite coating was more suitable for cell adhesion and proliferation. After further surface functionalization by polydopamine, the corrosion resistance of the composite coating was maintained, while its bioactivity was significantly enhanced with a large amount of hydroxyapatite (HA) formed on its surface after immersion in SBF. The initial cell adhesion and spread were also improved by the polydopamine. By further immobilizing polyhexamethylene biguanidine (PHMB) onto the coating surface via the assistance of polydopamine, good antibacterial ability was obtained. This feasible method for fabricating a cytocompatible and antibacterial composite coating on a biodegradable AZ31 alloy may be promising in implant applications due to the osteointegration and anti-infection properties of these materials post operation.

Abstract
Bacterial colonization of medical devices causes infections and is a significant problem in healthcare. The use of antibacterial coatings is considered as a potential solution to this problem and has attracted a great deal of attention. Using concentration density gradients of immobilized quaternary ammonium compounds it was demonstrated that a specific threshold of surface concentration is required to induce significant bacterial death. It was determined that this threshold was 4.18% NR4(+) bonded nitrogen with a surface potential of + 120.4 mV. Furthermore, it is shown for the first time that adhesion of constituents of the culture medium to the quaternary ammonium modified surface eliminated any cytotoxicity towards eukaryotic cells such as primary human fibroblasts. The implications of this type of surface fouling on the antimicrobial efficacy of surface coatings are also discussed.

Abstract
The interest in nanotechnology and the growing concern for the antibiotic resistance demonstrated by many microorganisms have recently stimulated many efforts in designing innovative biomaterials and substrates with antibacterial properties. Among the implemented strategies to control the incidence of infections associated with the use of biomedical device and implants, interesting routes are represented by the incorporation of bactericidal agents onto the surface of biomaterials for the prevention of bacterial adhesion and biofilm growth. Natural products and particularly bioactive metals such as silver, copper and zinc represent an interesting alternative for the development of advanced biomaterials with antimicrobial properties. This review presents an overview of recent progress in the modification of biomaterials as well as the most attractive techniques for the deposition of antimicrobial coatings on different substrates for biomedical application. Moreover, some research activities and results achieved by the authors in the development of antibacterial materials are also presented and discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, to investigate the effects of interactions between poly(quaternary ammonium) salts (PQAs) and poly(ethylene glycol) on their mixed micellar surface structures and properties under spontaneous conditions, a series of PQAs were first designed and synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) quaternized by bromobutane, bromooctane, and bromododecane, respectively. Poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PPEG) with a similar degree of polymerization was also prepared using poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate by ATRP. Next, these PQAs were mixed with an equal weight of PPEG in water to cross-assemble into mixed micelles. The structures and features of these mixed micelles were characterized by fluorescence measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), phase analysis light scattering (PALS), proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR), and hydrogen-hydrogen correlation spectroscopy nuclear magnetic resonance (H-H COSY NMR). These results suggest that PQAs and PPEG mixtures can cross-assemble into mixed micelles with low CMC. The surface structures, particle sizes, size distributions, and zeta potentials of PQAs and PPEG mixtures can be tailored by varying the alkyl chain length in quaternary ammonium salts, and the alkyl chain length also influences the distribution and the alkyl chain orientation of quaternary ammonium salts on mixed micelle surfaces. In addition, cytotoxicity of these mixed micelles can be markedly reduced by PPEG compared with their corresponding PQAs, but their good antibacterial activities are still maintained to a certain degree, as evaluated by methyl tetrazolium assay (MTT) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Our present work provides a new avenue for the preparation of biocompatible and antibacterial materials for biomedical applications.

Assessments of antibacterial and physico-mechanical properties for dental materials with chemically anchored quaternary ammonium moieties: thiol-ene-methacrylate vs. conventional methacrylate system. Dent Mater 2015; 31:244-61. [PMID: 25605414 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2014.12.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2014] [Revised: 11/09/2014] [Accepted: 12/16/2014] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fabrication of low shrinkage stress and strain dental resins containing highly available immobilized bactericidal moieties has been reported. The goal of this study is producing dental restorative materials with long-last antibacterial activity and reduced secondary caries. It is anticipated that antibacterial properties of quaternary ammonium moieties chemically immobilized in the backbone of dental resins is directly depended on accessibility of these functions. In the present study the antibacterial effect of a series of antibacterial monomers polymerized in a ternary thiol-ene-methacrylate system were compared with corresponding classical methacrylate system against Streptococcus mutans (an oral bacteria Strain). Physical and mechanical properties of dental materials obtained from these two systems were also evaluated and compared. METHODS The viscosities of the resin matrixes were measured on a MCR 300 rheometer. Degree of conversion (DC%) of monomers was measured using FTIR spectroscopy. The shrinkage-strain of photocured resins was measured using the bonded-disk technique. A universal testing machine combined with a stress measurement device was utilized to measure the polymerization-induced shrinkage stress. Viscoelastic properties of the samples were also determined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Assessment of antibacterial properties was performed through agar diffusion test (AD) to confirm non-release behavior of chemically anchored moieties. Quantitative assay of antibacterial activity was evaluated through direct contact test (DCT) against S. mutans. Direct contact cytotoxicity assay with fibroblast cell line L-929 was also performed to find more insight regarding cytotoxicity of the antibacterial matrixes. The data were analyzed and compared by ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests (significance level=0.05). RESULTS Neat methacrylate systems had significantly higher viscosity than thiol-ene-methacrylate analogous. The degree of conversion of methacrylate moieties in thiol-ene-methacrylate system was improved in comparison to conventional methacrylate system. Shrinkage stress and strain of thiol-ene-methacrylate system was lower than the neat methacrylate system. The thiol-ene-methacrylate systems show increased homogeneity and decreased glass transition temperature (Tg) and crosslink density (νc) in comparison to the neat methacrylate-based resins. The incorporated monofuctional quaternized monomer reduces degree of conversion, shrinkage stress and crosslink density of matrix. The results showed significant improvement in antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility of dental materials obtained from thiol-ene polymerization system. SIGNIFICANCE It was shown that with proper control of monomers molar ratio, significant improvement in antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility as well as acceptable mechanical properties can be attained for dental resins prepared through the application of thiol-ene polymerization methodology.

Abstract
Both implant centered infection and deficient osteoinduction are pivotal issues for orthopedic implants in early and long-term osseointegration, but constructing a functional bio-interface that can overcome these two problems is highly challenging. Our study reveals that a bio-interface with promoted positive charges plays an active role in simultaneously enhancing the antibacterial and osteoinductive capability of orthopedic implants. The positively charged bio-interface is fabricated by a simple dipping method, in which the cationic polymer (polyhexamethylene biguanidine, PHMB) is immobilized in the conjugated polydopamine coating. Mediated by the cation-π interaction, the immobilized PHMB elevates the surface potential resulting in excellent antibacterial efficacy corresponding to 5 ppm of free PHMB. The materials exhibit far better cytocompatibility than free PHMB at the dose which kills over 50% of the cells. Most importantly, the cationic surface can function as a bioelectrical microenvironment to guide bone mesenchymal stem cells and consequently, enhanced cellular viability and proliferation together with upregulated osteogenesis are achieved. The cation-π interaction mediated cationic surface overcomes the disadvantages plaguing the immobilized cationic antibacterial compounds prepared by other methods and is applicable to different types of biomedical materials requiring antibacterial and osteoinductive bio-interfaces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of pulsed electric fields (PEFs) to irreversibly electroporate cells is a promising approach for destroying undesirable cells. This approach may gain enhanced applicability if the intensity of the PEF required to electrically disrupt cell membranes can be reduced via exposure to a molecular deliverable. This will be particularly impactful if that reduced PEF minimally influences cells that are not exposed to the deliverable. We hypothesized that the introduction of charged molecules to the cell surfaces would create regions of enhanced transmembrane electric potential in the vicinity of each charged molecule, thereby lowering the PEF intensity required to disrupt the plasma membranes. This study will therefore examine if exposure to cationic peptides can enhance a PEF's ability to disrupt plasma membranes. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We exposed leukemia cells to 40 μs PEFs in media containing varying concentrations of a cationic peptide, polyarginine. We observed the internalization of a membrane integrity indicator, propidium iodide (PI), in real time. Based on an individual cell's PI fluorescence versus time signature, we were able to determine the relative degree of membrane disruption. When using 1-2 kV/cm, exposure to >50 μg/ml of polyarginine resulted in immediate and high levels of PI uptake, indicating severe membrane disruption, whereas in the absence of peptide, cells predominantly exhibited signatures indicative of no membrane disruption. Additionally, PI entered cells through the anode-facing membrane when exposed to cationic peptide, which was theoretically expected. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE Exposure to cationic peptides reduced the PEF intensity required to induce rapid and irreversible membrane disruption. Critically, peptide exposure reduced the PEF intensities required to elicit irreversible membrane disruption at normally sub-electroporation intensities. We believe that these cationic peptides, when coupled with current advancements in cell targeting techniques will be useful tools in applications where targeted destruction of unwanted cell populations is desired.

Abstract
![]()
The
alkyl chain length of quaternary ammonium/PEG copolyoxetanes
has been varied to discern effects on solution antimicrobial efficacy,
hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity. Monomers 3-((4-bromobutoxy)methyl)-3-methyloxetane
(BBOx) and 3-((2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)methyl)-3-methyloxetane (ME2Ox)
were used to prepare precursor P[(BBOx)(ME2Ox)-50:50–4 kDa]
copolyoxetane via cationic ring opening polymerization. The 1:1 copolymer
composition and Mn (4 kDa) were confirmed
by 1H NMR spectroscopy. After C–Br substitution
by a series of tertiary amines, ionic liquid Cx-50
copolyoxetanes were obtained, where 50 is the mole percent of quaternary
repeat units and “x” is quaternary
alkyl chain length (2, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16 carbons). Modulated
differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) studies showed Tgs between −40 and −60 °C and melting
endotherms for C14–50 and C16–50. Minimum inhibitory
concentrations (MIC) were determined for Escherichia
coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A systematic
dependence of MIC on alkyl chain length was found. The most effective
antimicrobials were in the C6–50 to C12–50 range. C8–50
had better overall performance with MICs of 4 μg/mL, E. coli; 2 μg/mL, S. aureus; and 24 μg/mL, P. aeruginosa. At 5 × MIC, C8–50 effected >99% kill in 1 h against S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa challenges of
108 cfu/mL; log reductions (1 h) were 7, 3, and 5, respectively.
To provide additional insight into polycation interactions with bacterial
membranes, a geometric model based on the dimensions of E. coli is described that provides an estimate of
the maximum number of polycations that can chemisorb. Chain dimensions
were estimated for polycation C8–50 with a molecular weight
of 5 kDa. Considering the approximations for polycation chemisorption
(PCC), it is surprising that a calculation based on geometric considerations
gives a C8–50 concentration within a factor of 2 of the MIC,
4.0 (±1.2) μg/mL for E. coli. Cx-50 copolyoxetane cytotoxicity was low for human
red blood cells, human dermal fibroblasts (HDF), and human foreskin
fibroblasts (HFF). Selectivities for bacterial kill over cell lysis
were among the highest ever reported for polycations indicating good
prospects for biocompatibility.

Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria 'superbugs' are an emerging threat to public health due to the decrease in effective antibiotics as well as the slowed pace of development of new antibiotics to replace those that become ineffective. The need for new antimicrobial agents is a well-documented issue relating to world health. Tremendous efforts have been given to developing compounds that not only show high efficacy, but also those that are less susceptible to resistance development in the bacteria. However, the development of newer, stronger antibiotics which can overcome these acquired resistances is still a scientific challenge because a new mode of antimicrobial action is likely required. To that end, amphiphilic, cationic polymers have emerged as a promising candidate for further development as an antimicrobial agent with decreased potential for resistance development. These polymers are designed to mimic naturally occurring host-defense antimicrobial peptides which act on bacterial cell walls or membranes. Antimicrobial-peptide mimetic polymers display antibacterial activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria including drug-resistant strains and are less susceptible to resistance development in bacteria. These polymers also showed selective activity to bacteria over mammalian cells. Antimicrobial polymers provide a new molecular framework for chemical modification and adaptation to tune their biological functions. The peptide-mimetic design of antimicrobial polymers will be versatile, generating a new generation of antibiotics toward implementation of polymers in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Preparation and evaluation of new polyurethane membranes for wound dressing application was considered in this work. The membranes were prepared through amine curing reaction of epoxy-terminated polyurethane prepolymers and an antibacterial epoxy-functional quaternary ammonium compound (glycidyltriehtylammonium chloride, GTEACl. To render the prepared membranes to be highly absorptive of wound exudates, poly (ethylene glycol) polyols were introduced into the polyurethane networks. Evaluation of biocompatibity via both MTT assay and direct contact with two different cell lines (fibroblast and epidermal keratinocytes) reveled that membranes with appropriate loading of GTEACl showed proper biocompatibility. Promising antibacterial activity of the prepared membranes against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria was confirmed by both agar diffusion and shaking flask methods. The membranes with balanced crosslink density and ionic groups' concentration possessed appropriate hydrophilicity and water vapor transmission rate; therefore, they could prevent the accumulation of exudates and decrease the surface inflammation in the wounded area.

Abstract
In this study, a simple and versatile synthetic approach was developed to prepare bactericidal polyurethane coatings. For this purpose, introduction of both quaternary ammonium salts (QASs), with well-known antibacterial activity, and reactive hydroxyl groups on to the backbone of soybean oil was considered. Epoxidized soybean oil was reacted with diethylamine and the intermediate tertiary amine containing polyol was reacted with two different alkylating agents, methyl iodide and benzyl chloride, to produce MQAP and BQAP, respectively. These functional polyols were reacted with different diisocyanate monomers to prepare polyurethane coatings. Depending on the structure of monomers used for the preparation of polyurethane coatings, initial modulus, tensile strength and elongation at break of samples were in the ranges of 122-339 MPa, 4.6-12.4 MPa and 8.4-46%, respectively. Polyurethane coatings based on isophorone diisocyanate showed proper mechanical properties and adhesion strength (0.41 MPa) for coating application. Study of fibroblast cells interaction with prepared polyurethanes showed promising cells viability in the range of 78-108%. Meanwhile, MQAP based samples with higher concentration of QASs showed better adhesion strength, surface hydrophilicity and antibacterial activity (about 95% bacterial reduction). Therefore, these materials can find applications as bactericidal coating for biomedical devices and implants.

Abstract
Copolymers of 4-vinyl-N-hexylpyridinium bromide and dimethyl(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphonate self-assemble to form ultrathin layers on titanium surfaces that show antimicrobial activity, and biocompatibility. The copolymer layers are characterized by contact angle measurements, ellipsometry and XPS. Antibacterial activity is assessed by investigation of adherence of S. mutans. Biocompatibility is rated based on human gingival fibroblast adhesion and proliferation. By balancing the opposing effects of the chemical composition on biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity, copolymer coatings are fabricated that are able to inhibit the growth of S. mutans on the surface but still show attachment of gingival fibroblasts, and therefore might prevent biofilm formation on implants.

Abstract
Polished 316 L stainless steel (SS) was first treated with air plasma to enhance surface hydrophilicity and was subsequently allowed to react with 2-(4-chlorosulfonylphenyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane to introduce an atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiator. Accordingly, the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of polyethylene glycol methacrylate (PEGMA) was carried out on the surface of the modified SS. The grafting progress was monitored by water contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The polymer thickness as a function different polymerization times was characterized using a step profiler. The anticoagulative properties of the PEGMA modified SS surface were investigated. The results showed enhanced anticoagulative to acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD) blood after grafting PEGMA on the SS surface.

Abstract
Despite advanced sterilization and aseptic techniques, infections associated with medical implants have not been eradicated. Most present coatings cannot simultaneously fulfil the requirements of antibacterial and antifungal activity as well as biocompatibility and reusability. Here, we report an antimicrobial hydrogel based on dimethyldecylammonium chitosan (with high quaternization)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (DMDC-Q-g-EM) and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate, which has excellent antimicrobial efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Fusarium solani. The proposed mechanism of the antimicrobial activity of the polycationic hydrogel is by attraction of sections of anionic microbial membrane into the internal nanopores of the hydrogel, like an 'anion sponge', leading to microbial membrane disruption and then microbe death. We have also demonstrated a thin uniform adherent coating of the hydrogel by simple ultraviolet immobilization. An animal study shows that DMDC-Q-g-EM hydrogel coating is biocompatible with rabbit conjunctiva and has no toxicity to the epithelial cells or the underlying stroma.

Abstract
The development of polymers that are both bactericidal and biocompatible would have many applications and are currently of research interest. Following the development of strongly bactericidal copolymers of 4-vinylpyridine and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate, biocompatibility assays have been completed on these materials to measure their potential biocompatibility. In this article, a new methodology for measuring protein interaction was developed for water-soluble polymers by coupling proteins to surfaces and then measuring the adsorption of copolymers onto these surfaces. Ellipsometry was then used to measure the thickness of adsorbed polymers as a measurement of biocompatibility. These results were then compared and correlated with the results of other biocompatibility assays previously conducted on these polymers, affording a greater understanding of the biocompatibility of the copolymers as well as improving the understanding of the effect of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups that is vital for the development of these materials.

Abstract
Low molecular weight random copolymers bearing protonated primary amine groups and hydrophobic alkyl groups in the side chains were synthesized and their activities against E. coli , S. aureus , human red blood cells, and human epithelial carcinoma cells (HEp-2) were quantified. The mole fraction of alkyl side chains in the copolymers (f(alkyl)) and the length of the alkyl chains were major determinants of the activities. Against E. coli cells, activity was diminished as f(alkyl) was increased from 0 to about 0.2, but was then enhanced dramatically as f(alkyl) was increased further. Activity against S. aureus was diminished continually with increasing f(alkyl). The cytotoxicity to human epithelial carcinoma cells also decreased with increasing f(alkyl). Conversely, hemolytic activity showed monotonic enhancement with increasing f(alkyl). The cationic homopolymer (f(alkyl) = 0) completely inhibited S. aureus growth at 3 microM (10.2 microg/mL) and completely inhibited metabolic activity in HEp-2 cells at 10 microM (34 microg/mL), although it did not induce any detectable hemolysis up to 645 microM (2000 microg/mL). Polymer-induced dye leakage from liposomes provided a biophysical basis for understanding the factors which modulate the polymer-membrane interactions. Disruption of Zwitterionic POPC vesicles induced by the copolymers was enhanced as f(alkyl) increased, following trends similar to the hemolytic activity data. The ability of the polymers to permeabilize vesicles of POPE/POPG and DOPG/Lysyl-DOPG/CL displayed trends similar to trends in their activities against E. coli and S. aureus , respectively. This was interpreted as evidence that the antimicrobial mechanism employed by the polymers involves disruption of bacterial cell membranes. An investigation of leakage kinetics revealed that the cationic homopolymer induced a gradual release of contents from POPE/POPG and DOPG/Lysyl-DOPG/CL vesicles, while the more hydrophobic copolymers induced rapid dye efflux. The results are interpreted as evidence that the cationic homopolymer and hydrophobic copolymers in this study exert their antimicrobial action by fundamentally different mechanisms of membrane disruption.
