Abstract:
1. A polymer having an antimicrobial activity and comprising a plurality of positively charged amino acid residues and at least one ω-amino-fatty acid residue, wherein said ω-amino-fatty acid residue is covalently linked to at least two amino acid residues in said plurality of positively charged amino acid residues via the N-alpha of one amino acid residue and via the C-alpha of the other amino acid residue in said at least two amino acid residues, said at least one ω-amino-fatty acid residue being linked to each of said amino acid residues via a peptide bond, the polymer being selected from the group consisting of C 12 K(NC 8 K) 5 NH 2 (SEQ ID NO:43), C 12 K(NC 8 K) 7 NH 2 (SEQ ID NO:45) and C 12 K(KNC 12 K) 2 NH 2 (SEQ ID NO:80).
