A functionalized cationic polymer, CR-PQAC, was designed and synthesized for photothermal enhanced antimicrobial therapy. The CR-PQAC nanoparticles exhibited significant antibacterial activity and low cytotoxicity against mammalian cells.
Light-triggered treatment approach has been regarded as an effective option for sterilization due to non-invasiveness, limited drug resistance, and minimized adverse effects. Herein, we designed and synthesized a functionalized cationic polymer, CR-PQAC, with croconaine bridging agent and quaternary ammonium groups for photothermal enhanced antimicrobial therapy under near-infrared irradiation. The quaternary ammonium group on the pendent chain endowing CR-PQAC the ability to effectively bind to bacteria. The CR-PQAC could self-assembles into micellar nanoparticles in aqueous solution, which exhibited strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region, excellent photostability, and photothermal conversion efficiency of up to 43.8 %. Notably, the CR-PQAC nanoparticles presented remarkable antibacterial activity against both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) bacteria with 808 nm laser irradiation. Moreover, the developed CR-PQAC has negligible dark cytotoxicity and good hemolytic compatibility against mammalian cells. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that the desirable antibacterial efficacy of CR-PQAC was obtained. Therefore, the proposed CR-PQAC may be a promising anti-microbial agent for NIR-enhanced killing bacterial.
