Safe and efficient membrane permeabilizing polymers based on PLLA for antibacterial applications

Abstract

Highly active antibacterial poly(<italic>N</italic>,<italic>N</italic>-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)-<italic>block</italic>-poly(<sc>l</sc>-lactic acid)-<italic>block</italic>-poly(<italic>N</italic>,<italic>N</italic>-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) conjugated with poly(ethylene glycol) (D-PLLA-D@PEG) copolymers were synthesized.
