Abstract
Pyrene-substituted amphiphilic ATRP polymers (P1) were used to stabilize the pyrene-substituted gold(I) NHC complex (Au-1) within the hydrophobic compartment of micellar structures in a methanol/water mixture through non-covalent π-π stacking interactions. The stacking interactions between pyrene groups of the polymer and the catalyst were investigated by means of fluorescence spectroscopy by comparing excimer and monomer emission signals of the pyrene moiety. The supported catalyst (Au-1@P1) formed spherical micellar structures in a water/methanol mixture with an average size of 55.6 (±13.1) nm as confirmed from TEM analysis. The performance of the catalytic system was tested on alkyne hydration reactions of alkynes. When compared to the unsupported analog, the supported catalyst showed an improved performance as a result of stabilization through π-stacking interactions within the hydrophobic compartment in the micellar structure.

Abstract
Methods for the remote detection of warfare agents and explosives have been in high demand in recent times. Among the several detection methods, fluorescence methods appear to be more convenient due to their low cost, simple operation, fast response time, and naked-eye-visible sensory response. For fluorescence methods, a large variety of fluorescent materials, such as small-molecule-based fluorophores, aggregation-induced emission fluorophores/materials, and supramolecular systems, have been reported in the literature. Among them, fluorescent (bio)polymers/(bio)polymer-based materials have gained wide attention due to their excellent mechanical properties and sensory performance, their ability to recognize explosives via different sensing mechanisms and their combinations, and, finally, the so-called amplification of the sensory response. This review provides the most up-to-date data on the utilization of polymers and polymer-based materials for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs)/nitro-explosives (NEs) in the last decade. The literature data have been arranged depending on the polymer type and/or sensory mechanism.

Abstract
Pyrene based molecules are inclined to form excimers through self-association upon photoexcitation. In this work, the pyrene core is functionalized with the N-methylacetamide group at the position 1 or 2 to develop pyren-1-methylacetamide (PyMA1) and pyren-2-methylacetamide (PyMA2), respectively. Upon photoexcitation with 345 nm, a portion of molecules in PyMA1 and PyMA2 solutions at ≥1.0 mM have formed static excimers. The steady state spectroscopic measurements suggest that, whether it is the dimerization of molecules in the ground state (GS) or in excimer formation, characteristic signs are more pronounced in PyMA1 than its isomeric counterpart, PyMA2. The shift of the excimer band in their respective emission spectra suggests that the extent of overlap in π-π stacking is greater for PyMA1 than for PyMA2 in the excited state. The optimized geometry of dimers in toluene shows that the overlapping area between the pyrene moieties in π-π stacking between the dimers is greater for PyMA1 than for PyMA2 in GS. The natural bond orbital analysis with the optimized GS geometries shows that the stabilization/interaction energy between the dimers in π-π stacking is higher in PyMA1 compared to PyMA2 in toluene. The transient absorption (TA) measurements in toluene over the fs-ps regime (fs-TA) showed that the formation of static excimers with pre-associated dimers in PyMA1 happens in ∼700 fs whereas the excimers for the pre-associated dimers in PyMA2 have formed in slightly slower time scale (∼1.95 ps). Contrary to what was observed in solution, the extent of overlap in π-π stacking is lower for PyMA1 dimers (∼17%) than for PyMA2 dimers (∼37%) in single crystals.

Aspirin-Based Organoiron Dendrimers as Promising Anti-Inflammatory, Anticancer, and Antimicrobial Drugs. Biomolecules 2021; 11:1568.

Abstract
Designing nanocarriers with actions directed at a specific organ or tissue is a very promising strategy since it can significantly reduce the toxicity of a bioactive drug. In this study, an organometallic dendrimer was used to synthesize a biocompatible drug delivery system by attaching aspirin to the periphery of the dendrimer. Our goal is to enhance the bioavailability and anticancer activity of aspirin and reduce its toxicity through successive generations of organoiron dendrimers. The biological activity of aspirin-based dendrimer complexes was evaluated. The result of antimicrobial activity of the synthesized dendrimers also demonstrated an increase in their antimicrobial activity with increased generation of the dendrimers for most types of microorganisms. This study reveals for the first time that organoiron dendrimers linked with aspirin exhibit an excellent Gram-negative activity comparable to the reference drug Gentamicin. All synthesized dendrimers were tested for their anticancer activity against breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7), hepatocellular cell lines (Hep-G2), and a non-cancer cell line, Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK293), using the MTT cell viability assay and compared against a standard anticancer drug, Doxorubicin. Compounds G3-D9-Asp and G4-D12-Asp exhibited noticeable activity against both cell lines, both of which were more effective than aspirin itself. In addition, the in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and histopathology of swollen paws showed that the designed aspirin-based dendrimers displayed significant anti-inflammatory activity; however, G2-D6-Asp showed the best anti-inflammatory activity, which was more potent than the reference drug aspirin during the same period. Moreover, the coupling of aspirin to the periphery of organoiron dendrimers showed a significant reduction in the toxicity of aspirin on the stomach.

Abstract
Monodisperse dendrimer-coated gold nanoparticles with a spherical shape have been obtained by direct reduction of HAuCl4 with sodium borohydride in the presence of dodecanethiol as a stabilizer and subsequent functionalization by ligand exchange reaction with polybenzylic thiolated dendrons. The substitution pattern of the dendrimeric units plays a fundamental role in the rate of the functionalization exchange process and consequently conditions the size and the polydispersity of the NPs obtained. An ulterior growth process occurs by thermal stimuli (150 °C) in a solvent-free environment. This method, carried out in mild conditions, allows the formation of highly monodisperse gold NPs with different sizes for different time reactions, and we discuss the mechanisms involved in this process. Finally, we demonstrate the chemical composition and stability of our compounds by structural, thermal, and chemical characterization of the samples before and after thermal treatment.

Abstract
The synthesis of a novel and attractive class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial organoiron dendrimers attached to the well-known drug ibuprofen is achieved. The structures of these dendrimers are established by spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The antimicrobial activity of these dendrimers is investigated and tested against five human pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and minimum inhibitory concentrations are reported. Some of these synthesized dendrimers exhibit higher inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, and Staphylococcus warneri compare to the reference drugs. As well, the in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities of these dendrimers are evaluated. The results of in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and histopathology of inflamed paws show that all dendrimers display considerable anti-inflammatory activity; however, second-generation dendrimer (G2-D6) shows the best anti-inflammatory activity, which is more potent than the commercial drug ibuprofen at the same tested dose. Results of the toxicity study reveal that G2-D6 is the safest drug on biological tissues.

Design of Organoiron Dendrimers Containing Paracetamol for Enhanced Antibacterial Efficacy. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 25:molecules25194514.

Abstract
Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a common painkiller and antipyretic drug used globally. Attachment of paracetamol to a series of organoiron dendrimers was successfully synthesized. The aim of this study is to combine the benefits of the presence of these redox-active organoiron dendrimers, their antimicrobial activities against some human pathogenic Gram-positive, and the therapeutic characteristics of paracetamol. The antimicrobial activity of these dendrimers was investigated and tested with a minimum inhibitory concentration and this has been reported. Some of these newly synthesized dendrimers exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), and Staphylococcus warneri compared to reference drugs. The results of this study indicate that the antimicrobial efficacy of the dendrimers is dependent on the size of the redox-active organoiron dendrimer and its terminal functionalities. The best result has been recorded for the fourth-generation dendrimer 11, which attached to 48 paracetamol end groups and has 90 units composed of the η6-aryl-η5-cyclopentadienyliron (II) complex. This dendrimer presented inhibition of 50% of the growth (IC50) of 0.52 μM for MRSA, 1.02 μM for VRE, and 0.73 μM for Staphylococcus warneri. The structures of the dendrimers were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), and 13C-NMR spectroscopic techniques. In addition, all synthesized dendrimers displayed good thermal stability in the range of 300–350 °C following the degradation of the cationic iron moieties which occurred around 200 °C.

Abstract
Pyrene butyric acid (PBA) is a well studied lumophore for its exciting fluorescent properties. The current study focussed on a dendritic modification of PBA with hyperbranched polyglycerols (HPG) by Steglich esterification and further doping with iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP) of α-Fe2O3 phase. The covalent coupling between HPG and PBA was confirmed by FTIR and 1H-NMR spectra. The main objective of the study was to monitor the fluorescent properties of the modified and doped products. Steady state PL emission studies showed a considerable decrease in fluorescence intensity on HPG modification which almost completely disappeared on doping with IONP. This suggests that this fluorosensing property can be explored in identification and estimation of iron oxide nanoparticles which has a great significance in biomedical field both in diagnostics and therapeutics. Lifetime measurements with TCSPC suggested an aggregation enhanced quenching of HPG-PBA conjugates and mixed static and dynamic mechanisms in IONP doped HPG-PBA conjugates. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are believed to exhibit distinctive self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation capabilities, and thus play a significant role in various aspects of cancer. CSCs have significant impacts on the progression of tumors, drug resistance, recurrence and metastasis in different types of malignancies. Due to their primary role, most researchers have focused on developing anti-CSC therapeutic strategies, and tremendous efforts have been put to explore methods for selective eradication of these therapeutically resistant CSCs. In recent years, many reports have shown the use of CSCs-specific approaches such as ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, blockade of self-renewal and survival of CSCs, CSCs surface markers targeted drugs delivery and eradication of the tumor microenvironment. Also, various therapeutic agents such as small molecule drugs, nucleic acids, and antibodies are said to destroy CSCs selectively. Targeted drug delivery holds the key to the success of most of the anti-CSCs based drugs/therapies. The convention CSCs-specific therapeutic agents, suffer from various problems. For instance, limited water solubility, small circulation time and inconsistent stability of conventional therapeutic agents have significantly limited their efficacy. Recent advancement in the drug delivery technology has demonstrated that specially designed nanocarrier-based drug delivery approaches (nanomedicine) can be useful in delivering sufficient amount of drug molecules even in the most interiors of CSCs niches and thus can overcome the limitations associated with the conventional free drug delivery methods. The nanomedicine has also been promising in designing effective therapeutic regime against pump-mediated drug resistance (ATP-driven) and reduces detrimental effects on normal stem cells. Here we focus on the biological processes regulating CSCs' drug resistance and various strategies developed so far to deal with them. We also review the various nanomedicine approaches developed so far to overcome these CSCs related issues and their future perspectives.
