Abstract To tackle the problems caused by bacterial biofilms, herein, this study reports an antimicrobial hybrid amphiphile (aHA) via dynamic covalent bonds for eradicating staphylococcal biofilms. aHA is synthesized iminoboronate ester formation between DETA NONOate (nitric oxide donor), 3 4‐dihydroxybenaldehyde, and phenylboronic acid‐modified ciprofloxacin (Cip). can self‐assemble in aqueous solution with ultra‐small critical aggregation concentration of 3.80 × 10 –5 m high drug loading...
Abstract Surface functionalization of nanoparticles has shown potential in enhancing the efficacy antibiotic-loaded nanosystems against drug-resistant bacteria. The objective this study was to synthesize and characterize an acid-cleavable pH-responsive polymer from methoxy polyethylene glycol oleylamine (mPEG-OA) surface modify vancomycin (VCM)-loaded niosomes evaluate their antibacterial anti-biofilm effectiveness methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). novel mPEG-OA-coated were...
Abstract Introduction The application of biomimetic and stimuli-responsive nanocarriers displays considerable promise in improving the management bacterial sepsis overcoming antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, study aimed to synthesize a novel hyaluronic acid-lysine conjugate (HA-Lys) utilize attributes synthesized HA-Lys with Tocopherol succinate (TS) Oleylamine (OLA) formulation multifunctional pH-responsive HNLCs loaded vancomycin (VCM-HNLCs), combat sepsis. Methods A was characterized...
