Compartmentalization into Outer and Inner Shells of Hollow Nanospheres for Antibiosis Based on Chemistry and Physical Damages

Abstract

There is a substantially ascending demand for nonantibiotic strategies to overcome the resistance of bacterial infections. Here, we report the discovery of a distinctive antibacterial structure. The novel structure of nanoparticle strategy is proposed for appreciable bacteria killing by the smart design of the delayed addition of crosslinkers into the reaction mixture. [2‐(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride solution (MTCl), a water‐soluble ionic liquid (IL), it has narrow‐size material distribution, good whiteness and high weather resistance. The quaternary ammonium salt has been utilized to efficiently permeate cell membrane through electrostatic interaction, accordingly, boasting a beneficiary of antibacterial properties. More importantly, it allows bacterium easily to attach the nanomaterials, especially the double shelled nanosphere. In the light of the introduction of 9‐amino(9‐deoxy)ep‐quinine (QNNH2) on its inner shell, it blocks the nucleic acid and glucose metabolism in bacteria, which is betterment of the antibacterial activity of double shelled structure nanoparticle compared to other structure of nanomaterials. This physical/chemical/biological triple antibacterial process eliminates the need for traditional antibiotics, and the fabrication strategies and material properties described here provide insights into the design of antibacterial nanomaterials based on chemical and physical effects.This article is protected by copyright.
