Synergistic Antibacterial Action of Norfloxacin-Encapsulated G4 Hydrogels: The Role of Boronic Acid and Cyclodextrin by Monica-Cornelia Sardaru, Irina Rosca, Simona Morariu, Elena-Laura Ursu, Alexandru Rotaru

“…In this present study, we developed and characterized a series of supramolecular G4 hydrogels by integrating <i>β</i>-cyclodextrin (<i>β</i>-CD) and boronic acid linkers into a supramolecular matrix to enhance antibacterial activity against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (<i>S. aureus</i>). We systematically investigated how varying the number of free boronic acid moieties (ranging from two to six), along with guanosine and β-CD content, influences both the structural integrity and antimicrobial efficacy of these materials. …”
