Sulfonium‐Based Antimicrobial Block Copolymers: Influence of Hydrophobicity on Biological Activity and Antibiotic Synergy

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Sulfonium‐based antimicrobial block copolymers combine an active cationic hydrophobic block with a neutral hydrophilic block to improve cytocompatibility. The hydrophobicity of the sulfonium‐based block controls the activity against S. aureus and E coli.

Poly(O‐Propargyl‐N‐Amino Carbamate), a Reactive Polymer to Underpin Biomedical Applications of Poly(acetylene)s

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We report here a new methodology to prepare functional poly(acetylene)s under aqueous conditions. This methodology is underpinned by poly(O‐propargyl‐N‐amino carbamate) (P1), a reactive poly(acetylene) carrying acyl hydrazines. Thus, P1 reacts with aldehydes to give functional poly(acetylene)s, including cationic, hydrophobic, and sugar‐loaded poly ...

Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptidomimetics

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Singular macromolecular cationic, amphipathic cyclic peptidomimetics with poly(2‐oxazoline)s‐esque backbone structure that undergo self‐assembly in water to form uniform nanoparticles were developed. The cyclic peptidomimetics, which act on bacterial cell membranes, exhibit hydrophobic‐dependent antimicrobial activity and toxicity.

Uncovering Key Characteristics of Antibacterial Peptides through Machine Learning

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning (ML) techniques using random forest classification models revealed key characteristics that predict effective antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) targeting Gram‐negative bacteria, Gram‐positive bacteria, and mycobacteria. The ideal cLogP (<$ < $−6) and net‐charge (≤+4) threshold was the same for all three targets with variations in the ...

Bioinspired, Guanidinium, and Indole Modified Poly(glycidyl ether)s as Highly Efficient Vectors for Polyplex‐Mediated Gene Delivery

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Guanidinium‐ and indole‐functionalized poly(glycidyl ether)s were developed as non‐viral gene delivery vectors with tunable hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance. All polymers formed stable DNA polyplexes, while moderate indole content yielded the highest transfection efficiency at low N/P ratios.

Active Learning for the Discovery of Antiviral Polymers

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Machine learning and active learning are integrated to accelerate the discovery of antiviral polymers. Molecular descriptors derived from polymer composition enable predictive modeling of antiviral activity, while unsupervised clustering explores chemical diversity. The active learning workflow identifies optimal candidates for synthesis, demonstrating
