In order to enhance the membrane disruption of antimicrobial peptides both targeting and multivalent presentation approaches were explored. The antimicrobial peptides anoplin and temporin L were conjugated via click chemistry to vancomycin and to di- and tetravalent dendrimers. The vancomycin unit led to enhanced membrane disruption of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) displaying the vancomycin target lipid II, but only for temporin L and not for anoplin. The multivalent presentation led to enhanced LUV membrane disruption in the case of anoplin but not for temporin L.

► A targeting unit was attached to antimicrobial peptides.
► Antimicrobial peptides were attached to a dendrimer.
► The targeting unit made temporin L more active but not anaoplin.
► The dendimer linkage made anoplin more active but not temporin L.
