Anionic Amphiphilic Dendrimers as Antibacterial Agents
摘要:
An anionic amphiphilic dendrimer is reported that possesses increased cytotoxicological potency against prokaryotic cells compared to eukaryotic cells. The half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) for the dendrimer against Bacillus subtillis, a Gram-positive bacterial strain, was measured to be 4.1 x 10(-5) M, while that against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) was more than 36(x) greater at a value of 1.5 x 10(-3) M. EC50 ratios for two commercial amphiphiles, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100, in addition to a similar synthesized dendritic structure were most only 3.8(x) greater. Furthermore, the observed EC50 values appear to be correlated to the critical aggregation constant (CAC) in solution suggesting a mechanism of action for these anionic anphiphilic dendrimers related to their supramolecular structures.
Synthesis and Aqueous Aggregation Properties of Amphiphilic Surface-Block Dendrimers
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]A family of dendritic amphiphiles were synthesized from the natural metabolites of glycerol, succinic acid, and myristic acid. The surfaces of these dendrimers display different numbers of alkyl chains and carboxylic acids, varying the hydrophobic-to-hydrophilic ratio over a relatively broad range. In solution these dendritic amphiphiles form supramolecular structures, and these aggregates have been characterized by light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and tensiometry. These aggregates can entrap the hydrophobic species pyrene.
