A Membrane‐Intercalating Conjugated Oligoelectrolyte with High‐Efficiency Photodynamic Antimicrobial Activity

Wang, Bing, Wang, Ming, Mikhailovsky, Alexander, Wang, Shu, Bazan, Guillermo C.·2017·Angewandte Chemie International Edition

Abstract

A membrane‐intercalating conjugated oligoelectrolyte (COE), PTTP, was designed and synthesized with the goal of providing red‐shifted absorption spectra relative to previously synthesized COE analogs. Specifically, electron‐rich and electron‐poor subunits were introduced in the conjugated backbone to modulate the band gap. PTTP exhibits maxima of absorption at 507 nm and of emission at 725 nm. PTTP can also efficiently function to generate singlet oxygen in situ (Φ Δ≈20 %) and has appropriate topology and dimensions to interact with lipid membranes. The resulting rapid membrane insertion and sensitizing ability provide PTTP with a highly efficient antibacterial capability under a low light dose (0.6 J cm−2) toward Gram‐negative bacteria E. coli, making it a remarkably efficient optically mediated antimicrobial agent.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
