Modular Triethylene Glycol Decouples Antimicrobial Potency from Cytotoxicity in Membrane-Active Drugs

Abstract Cationic membrane-active drugs are an important focus of antibiotic research, yet their potential is often limited by poor selectivity. Here, we establish steric protection of cations by modular triethylene glycol as a chemical design framework to decouple antimicrobial...
