Dendronized Amphiphilic Copolymers Synthesized from Methacrylate Derivatives as Potential Topical Microbicides

The need for a preventative agent to curtail the rampant spread of HIV, other STDs and mucosal pathogens is urgent. Topical microbicides based on amphiphilic compounds have been identified as an attractive means toward this goal. Novel dendritic methacrylate macromonomers––di-tert-butyl 4-(2-tert-bu...
