Li, Xiaoya published the artcileNonionic nontoxic antimicrobial polymers: indole-grafted poly(vinyl alcohol) with pendant alkyl or ether groups, Product Details of C6H13I, the publication is Polymer Chemistry (2022), 13(16), 2307-2319, database is CAplus.
A series of new nonionic antimicrobial polymers with a biodegradable polyvinyl alc. (PVA) backbone grafted with indole units and different hydrophobic alkyl or ether groups were synthesized by facile esterification. The chem. structures and thermal properties of the obtained polymers were characterized by GPC, NMR, FTIR, WAXD, TGA and DSC analyses. All these nonionic polymers showed a significant antibacterial effect similar to gentamicin against 9 food and human pathogenic bacteria according to the disk diffusion assay. The presence of alkyl or ether groups in most cases did not significantly affect the antibacterial effect compared to the polymer with unsubstituted indole units (with N-H moieties). The impacts of the OH conversion and mol. weight of the obtained polymers on their antimicrobial and anti-quorum sensing effects were also preliminarily investigated. Finally, the obtained indole-grafted PVAs were subjected to MTT assay using a mammalian cell line and hemolysis investigations, and the results showed excellent biocompatibility, particularly for those with ether substituents.
