Abstract
The present invention is directed to a novel class of antimicrobial agents called .gamma.-AApeptides. The current invention provides various categories of .gamma.-AApeptides, for example, linear .gamma.-AApeptides, cyclic .gamma.-AApeptides, and lipidated .gamma.-AApeptides. .gamma.-AApeptides of the current invention are designed to exert antimicrobial activity while being stable and non-toxic. .gamma.-AApeptides also do not appear to lead to the development of microbial resistance in treated microorganisms. Thus, the disclosed .gamma.-AApeptides can be used for the treatment of various medical conditions associated with pathogenic microorganisms.
