Polymer with selective antifungal properties

Description: The subject of the offer are cationic polymers, characterized by the fact that they exhibit their antimycotic effect only at a specific molecular weight. The polymer can be used as an addition to nail polishes to treat or prevent mycosis. Additionally, it can be used as an antifungal agent in crops.

The subject of the offer are cationic polymers, characterized by the fact that they exhibit their antimycotic effect only at a specific molecular weight. Above the polymer can be used as an addition to nail polishes to treat or prevent mycosis. Additionally, it can be used as an antifungal agent in field or home crops. Polymer properties: • Dissolves well in: water, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol • It is stable over time (scale of months) in solutions at room temperature • Based on tests on the 3T3-L1 mouse fibroblast cell line (ATCC), the polymer was shown to have lower toxicity than low molecular weight drugs - terbinafine and ciclopirox
