| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the novel synthetic route was established regarding novel N-vinylamide derivatives, which resembled to structural isomers of peptides. Several N-vinylamide derivatives and their copolymers were also synthesized. For example, long alkyl chain and aromatic group were introduced into N-position at N-vinyl amides, although the monomers keep hydrogen atom at amide position, which expected important property. When RAFT method is applied, polymerization control without side reaction was achieved. Finally, the obtained copolymers were examined for their cell viabilities. The low cell toxicity was evaluated by the N-vinylamide polymers. The copolymers with hydrophobic moieties maintain the low cell toxicity, although the cation units was introduced, which was expected as high antibacterial properties. We expect the application of the novel polymers as non-biodegradable stable and safe antibacterial materials.
