摘要: Here, we describe novel polyion complex (PIC) particles for the delivery of Polymyxin B (Pol-B), an antimicrobial peptide currently used in clinic as a last resort antibiotic against multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria. A range conditions controlled assembly Pol-B with poly(styrene sulphonate) (PSS) has been identified which let us prepare stable colloidal PIC particles. This way, containing different Pol-B:PSS ratios have prepared and their stability under simulated physiological (i.e. pH, osmotic pressure temperature) characterised. Furthermore, preliminary evaluation activity these performed, by monitoring effect on growth Pseudomonas aeruginosa, opportunistic bacterium.
