The adherence of pathogenic microorganisms to surfaces and their association form antibiotic-resistant biofilms threatens public health affects several industrial sectors with significant economic losses. For this reason, the medical, pharmaceutical materials science communities are exploring more effective anti-fouling approaches. This review focuses on properties, structure-activity relationships environmental toxicity quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) and, as a subclass, ionic liquid compounds. Greener alternatives such QAS-based antimicrobial polymers biocide release, non-fouling (i.e., PEG, zwitterions), fouling release poly(dimethylsiloxanes), fluorocarbon) contact killing properties highlighted. We also report dual-functional stimuli-responsive materials. Given impacts in submerged surfaces, we emphasize importance less explored approaches marine industry developing efficient membranes for water treatment systems.

Dual-functional composite hydrogel platform: A “kill two birds with one stone” strategy for anti-infection and osseointegration in the treatment of infectious bone defects

Chemical Engineering Journal, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 498, С. 155337 - 155337

Опубликована: Сен. 1, 2024

Infectious bone defect (IBD), caused by various factors, frequently recur and are challenging to cure. Current treatments predominantly rely on a combination of antibiotics traditional surgery, yet they have not significantly reduced long-term recurrence rates. Given the complex microenvironment persistent mechanisms mediated bacteria, it is crucial for implants enhance osseointegration while ensuring sustained effective infection control. Hydrogels emerged as promising solution in tissue engineering due their excellent drug-loading efficiency, controlled drug release, adjustable mechanical strength, biocompatibility. Over past decade, hydrogels with dual anti-infection pro-osseointegration functions demonstrated efficacy treating IBD, making clinical application possible. This review summarizes current highlighting pros cons infection-mediated immune microenvironments. Additionally, discusses essential physicochemical properties suitable IBD reviews latest advancements dual-functional hydrogels. Finally, addresses future prospects, technical challenges, unresolved issues development Overall, this aims facilitate advancement implementation tailored therapeutic needs IBD.

Enlarged Cleavable Linkages in Shuriken-like Quaternary Ammonium Compounds Providing Safer Bactericides

Chemistry of Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 26, 2025

Although they offer great convenience in preventing microbial infections, the nondegradable feature of most commercial quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) has led to persistent environmental accumulation, raising significant concerns about their detrimental impacts on public and ecological health. In this study, we report a kind shuriken-like QACs with rapid hydrolysis properties under mild conditions, enabled by introduction enlarged cleavable linkages as backbones. Such present potent bactericidal activity owing multicationic "heads" yet can be converted entirely harmless forms choline silicone oil after degradation. Both cytotoxicity assessment biosafety evaluation confirm nontoxic nature degradation products. The performance fruit preservation infection prevention fabric surfaces further illustrates broad application prospects such degradable within realm food safety With advantages hydrolysis, friendliness, low biotoxicity, concept an "enlarged linkage" strategy will pave way for exploiting generation disinfectants that effectively combat threats while ensuring minimal footprint.
