RESUMEN
Biomaterial-associated infections caused by bacteria pose a great threat to human health, and therefore, various antibacterial coatings have been developed to control bacterial infections. Povidone iodine (PVP-I) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent without drug resistance to most pathogenic microorganisms and has been widely used in the clinic. However, its applications in the field of coatings are limited due to its strong water solubility. Here, we used initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition (iCVD) technique to synthesize cross-linked poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (PVE) coatings to firmly immobilize poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) on surfaces. After complexation with iodine, PVE-I coatings exhibited potent bacteria-killing and antifouling activities against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus in vitro owing to the antibacterial effect of iodine and the hydrophilicity of VP, respectively. The killing and antifouling effects were positively correlated with the VP content. The PVE-I-2 coating displayed excellent anti-infection performance in a rat subcutaneous implantation model in vivo. This study provided a simple method for preparing stable povidone iodine coatings on surfaces via solvent-free iCVD, and combined bacteria-killing and antifouling strategies to fabricate multifunctional antibacterial coatings against bacterial infections on biomaterial surfaces.

A rhodaelectro-catalyzed C2-H selectively decarboxylative alkenylation of 3-carboxy-1H-indoles employing electricity as the traceless terminal oxidant has been accomplished. The weakly coordinating carboxyl group serves as the traceless directing groups. External oxidant-free in an undivided cell with constant current in aqueous solution ensures the decarboxylative C-H alkenylation to be viable and sustainable.
