- Abstract: The purpose of this Viewpoint is to discuss the molecular design principles that guide development of synthetic antimicrobial polymers, especially those intended to mimic the structure of host defense peptides (HDPs). In particular, we focus on the principle of "amphiphilic balance" as it relates to some recently developed polyphosphoniums with somewhat atypical structure. We find that the fundamental concept of amphiphilic balance is still applicable to these new polymers, but that the method to achieve such balance is somewhat unique. We then briefly outline the future challenges and opportunities in this field. Abstract : Die molekularen Designprinzipien, die die Entwicklung synthetischer antimikrobieller Polymere leiten, werden diskutiert – mit einem Fokus auf dem Prinzip des „amphiphilen Gleichgewichts", das für einige kürzlich entwickelte Polyphosphoniumverbindungen mit etwas atypischer Struktur zutrifft. Es wird festgestellt, dass das grundlegende Konzept des amphiphilen Gleichgewichts für diese neuen Polymere nach wie vor anwendbar ist.
