| description | <p>The burden of bacterial wound infections has considerably increased due to antibiotic resistance to most of the currently available antimicrobial drugs. Herein, for the first time, a chemical coupling of two cationic <em>N</em>-aryl (pyridyl and aminocinnamyl) chitosan derivatives to antimicrobial peptide dendrimers (AMPDs) of different generations (first, second, and third) via thioether-haloacetyl reaction is reported. The new chitosan-AMPD conjugates show high selectivity by killing <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> and very low toxicity toward mammalian cells, as well as extremely low hemolysis to red blood cells. Electron microscopy reveals that the new chitosan derivatives coupled to AMPD destroy both the inner and outer membranes of Gram-negative <em>P. aeruginosa</em>. Moreover, chitosan-AMPD conjugates show synergetic effects within extremely low concentrations. The new chitosan-AMPD conjugates can be used as potent antimicrobial therapeutic agents, to eradicate pathogens such as those present in acute and chronic infected wounds.</p> |
