Abstract:
Antibacterial polypeptides as ancient immune defense systems are effective against bacteria. Here we report a novel kind of “armed” carrier: an antibacterial polypeptide-grafted chitosan-based nanocapsule with an excellent antibacterial efficacy against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This nanocapsule also has excellent blood compatibility and low cytotoxicity. Patients after tumor surgery may benefit from this “armed” carrier because it is highly anti-inflammation and is able to deliver anticancer and antiepileptic drugs simultaneously.
