  • Poly-?-peptides from functionalized ?-lactam monomers and antibacterial compositions containing same
    Patent number: 10323121
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making ?-polypeptides. The method includes polymerizing ?-lactam-containing monomers in the presence of a base initiator and a co-initiator which is not a metal-containing molecule to yield the product ?-polypeptides. Specifically disclosed are methods wherein the base initiator is potassium t-butoxide, lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiN(TMS)2), potassium bis(trimethyl-silyl)amide, and sodium ethoxide, and the reaction is carried out in a solvent such as chloroform, dichloromethane, dimethylsulfoxide, or tetrahydrofuran.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 18, 2019
    Assignee: WISCONSIN ALUMNI RESEARCH FOUNDATION
    Inventors: Shannon S. Stahl, Samuel H. Gellman, Sarah E. Lee, Mehmet F. Ilker, Bernard Weisblum, Denis Kissounko
