The use of compounds to potentiate antimicrobial activity of peptides and peptoids

Often, antimicrobial peptoid is not effective against bacteria at non-cytotoxic concentrations. Stanford researchers have invented a method to use antioxidants and oxygen scavengers to enhance the bactericidal activity of antimicrobial peptoid to be effective at non-cytotoxic concentrations. The method can be used for the treatment of acute as well as chronic bacterial infections.
