Beta-peptido sugar-copolymer

Abstract

There is provided a β-peptido sugar-copolymer having the structure of formula (I) as defined herein, or a stereoisomer, a tautomer, an N-oxide, a hydrate, a solvate, or a salt thereof, or a mixture of the same. There is provided a process to make the β-peptido sugar-copolymer as defined herein. There are further provided medical applications of the β-peptido sugar-copolymer as defined herein. In a preferred embodiment, a block-like copolymer poly(amido-D-glucose)-block-poly-β-(L)-homolysine (PDGu-b-PBLK) synthesized via anionic ring-opening polymerization (ROP) demonstrates an antimicrobial efficacy, an enhanced selectivity towards different bacteria, biocompatibility vs. mammalian cells and spontaneous assembly.
