Abstract
The invention provides a branched copolymer for the treatment of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. The branched copolymer is characterized as having (i) at least 10 amino acids, (ii) at least 10% of the amino acids are histidine, (iii) at least 10% of the amino acids are non-histidine, (iv) said branched polymer comprising one or more backbones, (v) one or more terminal branches, and (vi) optionally, one or more non-terminal branches.
Claims15
A method for treating bacteria, fungal, or viral infections comprising administering a branched polymer with a backbone of 1 or more amino acid residues and at least one branch with at least 10 amino acid residues, wherein at least 38% of the amino acid residues are histidine and at least 10% of the amino acid residues are non-histidine.
