Cationic lipids have long been known to serve as antibacterial and antifungal agents. Prior efforts with attachment of cationic lipids to carbohydrate-based surfaces have suggested the possibility that carbohydrate-attached cationic lipids might serve as antibacterial and antifungal pharmaceutical agents. Toward the understanding of this possibility, we have synthesized several series of cationic lipids attached to a variety of glycosides with the intent of generating antimicrobial agents that would meet the requirement for serving as a pharmaceutical agent, specifically that the agent be effective at a very low concentration as well as being biodegradable within the organism being treated. The initial results of our approach to this goal are presented.
阳离子脂质早已被认为具有抗菌和抗真菌的作用。此前将阳离子脂质附着到碳水化合物基表面的研究表明,碳水化合物附着的阳离子脂质可能作为抗菌和抗真菌药物。为了理解这种可能性,我们合成了几系列与各种糖苷相连的阳离子脂质,旨在开发符合药物要求的抗微生物剂,特别是要求在非常低的浓度下有效,并且在被治疗的生物体内可降解。我们针对这一目标的初步结果已被呈现。
