Polyacrylic acid와 polymethacrylic acid를 N-hydroxysuccinimide에 반응시켜 poly(N-acryloxysuccinimide)와 poly(N-methacryloxysuccinimide)를 합성하고, 이것과 cephradine을 반응시켜 polyacryloylcephradine과 polymethacryloylcephradine을 합성하였다. 이들 중합체약의 항균성을 2단계 희석법에 의하여 최소 발육저지 농도로서 조사하였다. Polyacryloylcephradine 중합체에 대한 최소 발육저지 농도는 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus aureus FDA 209P, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 14580, Escherichia coli BE 1186 및 Salmonella typhimurium TV 119 균주들에 항균성이 대체적으로 우수하였다. Polymethacryloylcephylococcus aureus FDA 209P, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli BE 1186 및 Salmonella typhimurium TV 119 균주들에 대해서 항균력을 보여주었다.
The reaction of N-hydroxysuccinimide with polyacrylic acid and polymethacrylic acid gave poly(N-acryloxysuccinimide)and poly(N-methacryloxysuccinimide), whose reaction with cephradine provided polyacryloylcephradine and polymethacryloylcephradine. The activities of these polymeric drugs were investigated in terms of minimum inhibitory concentration by the common twofold dilution technique. Polyacryloylcephradine revealed excellent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus aureus FDA 209P, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 14580, Escherishia coli BE 1186 and Salmonella typhimurium TV 119. Polymethacryloylcephradine revealed excellent Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus aureus FDA 209P, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli Be 1186 and Salmonella typhimurium TV 119.
