Abstract: This disclosure relates to antimicrobial compositions, and more particularly to treatment of surfaces (e.g., face masks) for the reduction or prevention of transmission of microbes (e.g., bacteria, fungus, and/or viruses). In some embodiments, the compositions comprise a cationic polymer selected from the group consisting of: a polydiallyldimethylammonium salt, a polyethyleneimine salt, a polydiallyldimethylammonium with different counter ions, a chemically modified polyethyleneimine salt, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are crosslinked chondroitin sulfate particles crosslinked chondroitin sulfate particle polyelectrolytes. The particles are useful in drug delivery applications. The particles may be used to treat various conditions, including bacterial and fungal infections.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an ophthalmological composition comprising remdesivir and an ophthalmologically suitable carrier, and the use thereof for treating and preventing a coronavirus infection and treating conjunctivitis.

Abstract: The disclosure provides drug delivery devices and methods of making and using the drug delivery devices. The devices include single and multi-layer polymer films made by a breath figure technique having therapeutic agents associated therewith. For example, the devices may be a dual layer polymer film wherein the first layer includes a therapeutic agent incorporated into it by spin coating the first agent with a polymer solution and the second agent is incorporated into the second layer by loading the agent into pores of the second layer after it is spin coated onto the first layer. In some cases one layer provides a burst release and the second layer provides a slow release drug delivery profile. The devices may take on the form of a surgical mesh with a slow release therapeutic drug.
