PLMA-001-Polylysine Methacrylated

Description

Product introduction

Polylysine (ε-PL) is an antibacterial polypeptide (AMP) produced by Streptomyces. It has universal antibacterial activity against both bacteria and fungi, such as Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus). With good biocompatibility, antibacterial and degradable properties, ε-PL and its derivatives are widely used in the field of tissue engineering such as antibacterial wound dressings. It not only promotes tissue repair, but also avoids the disadvantages of traditional antibacterial drugs or metal ions (e.g. Ag+), such as undesirable side effects and poor drug resistance. Poly-L-lysine Methacryloyl (PLMA) is a double bond modified poly-lysine which can be cured by UV and visible light in the presence of photo-initiators. The EFL team introduce a PLMA product (EFL-PLMA series) with stable physicochemical properties. It can be cured into gel within 10 seconds under visible light. The material is biocompatible, antimicrobial and offers a wide range of viscoelastic properties to suit different applications.

Applications

Antibacterial coatings, wound dressings, etc.
