Multivalent Glycopolymer Design Unlocks Antimicrobial Activity of 2‐Deoxyglucose
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.New approaches to combat antimicrobial‐resistant pathogens are needed. Here, scaffolding a nonmetabolizable sugar (2DG) on a polymer backbone is shown to significantly improve its antimicrobial activity. ABSTRACT With the increasing prevalence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) pathogens, last‐line therapeutics such as cyclic peptides are insufficient ...
