Antimicrobial polymers.

A number of carboxyl-containing ethylene copolymers have been prepared which exhibit long term antibacterial and antifungal properties. These materials containing antimicrobial agents bound to the copolymer backbone as carboxylate salts, have been tested for their applicability to hospital products as a means of providing "self-sanitizing" articles. Tests have shown that these materials, although not bactericidal, do inhibit microbial growth. Investigations of the compatibility of these polymers with commodity polymers have been made and water emulsions of the polymers have been tested for applicability as components of product protectant coatings.

Utility of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to characterize the structure of dexamethasone sodium phosphate inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins in solution and to analyze potential competitive effects.

The interaction between dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) and four cyclodextrin (CyD) derivatives [2,6-di-O-beta-cyclodextrin (DIMEB), gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CyD), and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin with either 2.7 or 4.6 degrees of substitution (HPbetaCyD 2.7 and HPbetaCyD 4.6, respectively)] was investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR). The data suggested the formation of inclusion complexes in solution in which B and C rings of the molecule are located inside the cavity. Nevertheless, the structure, in terms of depth within CyD, depends on the derivative considered. Molecular mechanics calculations of DSP complexes with DIMEB and gamma-CyD support the NMR results. The potential displacement of DSP from the CyD cavity by usual ophthalmic drugs (e.g., polymyxin B, trimethoprim, and benzalkonium chloride) was determined by NMR. The technique has been found useful to analyze this problem in pharmaceutical preparations.
