Organic Polymer Nanoparticles with Primary Ammonium Salt as Potent Antibacterial Nanomaterials.

Bacterial infections induced by drug-resistant strains have become a global crisis. A membrane-disrupted mechanism is considered as an effective way to kill bacteria with little chance to trigger drug resistance. It is necessary to explore and develop new materials based on the membrane-disrupted mechanism to combat bacterial resistance. Here we report the design of organic nanoparticles based on a polymer (PDCP) as highly effective inhibition and bactericidal reagents. The PDCP is devised to have a hydrophobic skeleton and hydrophilic side chain modified with protonated primary amines, which could self-assemble to form organic nanoparticles (PDCP-NPs). By taking advantage of the large surface to volume ratio of nanoparticles, the synthesized PDCP-NPs have enriched positive charges and multiple membrane-binding sites. Research results display that PDCP-NPs have highly potent antibacterial activity in vitro and vivo, especially for Gram-negative bacteria with low toxicity against mammalian cells. This work design will inspire researchers to develop more membrane-disrupted bactericide and advance the applications of organic nanoparticles in the antibacterial area.
