The subject invention pertains to polyacrylate homopolymers produced from acrylolated drug monomers. The homopolymers can be produced in the form of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles comprising the homopolymers can be produced via a free radical-induced emulsion polymerization of the acrylolated drug monomers to produce an aqueous emulsion of uniformly sized nanoparticles. The homopolymers of the invention containing acrylolated antibiotic monomers can be active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coil. Accordingly, methods are provided of treating a disease, for example, an infection, by administering to a subject the homopolymers, homopolymeric nanoparticles, or emulsions containing homopolymeric nanoparticles of the invention.
本发明涉及用丙烯醇化药物单体生产的聚丙烯酸酯均聚物。这种均聚物可以纳米颗粒的形式生产。由该均聚物组成的纳米颗粒可通过丙烯醇化药物单体的自由基诱导乳液聚合来生产,从而产生大小均匀的纳米颗粒水乳液。本发明含有丙烯醇化抗生素单体的均聚物可对革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性细菌(如金黄色葡萄球菌和卷曲杆菌)具有活性。因此,提供了通过向受试者施用本发明的均聚物、均聚纳米粒子或含有均聚纳米粒子的乳液来治疗疾病(例如感染)的方法。
