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

open access: yesMacromolecular 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(2‐Oxazoline)‐Based Polyphotoacids: Synthesis, Solution Behavior, and Cellular Uptake of Multi‐Responsive Intracellular Transporters

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
The ability of photoacids to increase their acidity in response to light irradiation (excited state proton transfer, ESPT) makes them attractive building blocks for the design of stimuli‐responsive copolymers. In this contribution, we present highly biocompatible polyphotoacids based on poly(2‐oxazoline)s bearing 1‐hydroxypyrene units. Low cytotoxicity,

Diacetylene‐Functionalized Glycan Mimetics for Receptor‐Mediated Cluster Imprinting in Model Membranes

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Diacetylene‐containing glycan mimetics cluster upon selective lectin binding in GUVs. Subsequent irradiation leads to the formation of fluorescent polymer clusters, while non‐clustered glycan mimetics remain unaffected in the membrane. ABSTRACT The glycocalyx, a dense layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids on eukaryotic cells, is essential for cellular

Uncovering Key Characteristics of Antibacterial Peptides through Machine Learning

open access: yesMacromolecular 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 ...

A Non‐Antigenic Randomized Polyethylene Glycol/Poly(2‐Phenyl‐2‐Oxazine)‐Based Drug Delivery Platform

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Randomized PEG (rPEG), a conceptually new PEG alternative, is combined with poly(2‐phenyl‐2‐oxazine) (PPheOzi) to establish an rPEG‐b‐PPheOzi‐b‐rPEG micellar drug delivery platform. The PPheOzi block enables high drug loadings, while competitive ELISA reveals a drastic reduction in anti‐PEG antibody affinity of rPEG in comparison to PEG.

Ex Vivo Evaluation of Poly(Solketal Acrylate) Nanoparticles for Intravitreal Drug Delivery to the Posterior Eye Segment

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Nile Red‐loaded poly(solketal acrylate) nanoparticles enable fluorescence tracking and exhibit nontoxic profiles in retinal cells. Enhanced cellular uptake and deep retinal penetration after intravitreal injection highlight their excellent potential for targeted ocular drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye.
