Abstract
In this research, we present a method for synthesis and a detailed description of geometry characterization of a novel binuclear Cu(I) phosphine complex, along with analysis of its interaction with HSA using spectroscopic and simulation methods. The Cu atoms are coordinated in a tetrahedral geometry, which results in coordination by two nitrogen atoms from the N,N'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine ligand (L), a chloride, and a PPh3. The complex binding constant to HSA in a biochemical environment was determined to be ∼106, which is indicative of a strong interaction. The fluorescence of HSA is significantly quenched by binding to the complex via a static mechanism, whereas the microenvironment of the tryptophan residue remains unchanged. A spontaneous binding process was indicated by a negative value for ΔG. Thermodynamic signatures reflect the dominance of hydrophobic forces during the interaction. The site marker competitive experiment combined with docking simulation analysis revealed the closeness position of the complex binding site to warfarin location in specific ligand site I of HSA. The information generated in the present study would be valuable to understand the interaction mechanistic and pharmacological behavior of Cu(I) complexes.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The incessant, global increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a very big challenge for healthcare systems. AMR is predicted to grow at an alarming pace, with a dramatic increase in morbidity, mortality, and a 100 trillion US$ loss to the global economy by 2050. The mortality rate caused by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is much higher as compared to infections caused by drug-susceptible S. aureus. Additionally, there is a big paucity of therapeutics available for treatment of serious infections caused by MRSA. Thus, the discovery and development of novel therapies is an urgent, unmet medical need. In this context, we synthesized AE4G0, a low-generation cationic-phosphorus dendrimer expressing potent antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and Enterococcus sp., and demonstrating a broad selectivity index against eukaryotic cells. AE4G0 exhibits concentration-dependent, bactericidal activity and synergizes with gentamicin, especially against gentamicin-resistant MRSA NRS119. Fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy demonstrate that treatment with AE4G0 led to the utter destruction of S. aureus ATCC 29213 without inducing resistance, despite repeated exposure. When tested in vivo, AE4G0 demonstrates significant efficacy against S. aureus ATCC 29213, alone and in combination with gentamicin against gentamicin-resistant S. aureus NRS119 in the murine skin model of infection. Taken together, AE4G0 demonstrates the potential to be translated as a novel therapeutic option for the treatment of topical, drug-resistant S. aureus infections.

Abstract
The construction of well-defined polyurethane dendrimers is challenging due to the high reactivity of externally added or in situ formed isocyanates leading to the formation of side products. With a primary focus of dendrimer research being the interaction of the periphery and the core, we report the synthesis of a common polyurethane dendron, which allows for the late-stage variation of both the periphery and the core. The periphery can be varied simply by installing a clickable unit in the dendron and then attaching to the core and vice-versa. Thus, a common dendron allows for varying periphery and core in the final two steps. To accomplish this, a protecting group-free, one-pot multicomponent Curtius reaction was utilized to afford a robust and versatile AB2 type polyurethane dendron employing commercially available simple molecules: 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, 11-bromoundecanol, and 4-penten-1-ol. Subsequent late-stage modifications of either dendrons or dendrimers via a thiol-ene click reaction gave surface-functionalized alternating aromatic-aliphatic polyurethane homodendrimers to generation-three (G3). The dendrons and the dendrimers were characterized by NMR, mass spectrometry, and FT-IR analysis. A bifunctional AB2 type dendritic monomer demonstrated this approach’s versatility that can either undergo a thiol-ene click or attachment to the core. This approach enables the incorporation of functionalities at the periphery and the core that may not withstand the dendrimer growth for the synthesis of polyurethane dendrimers and other dendritic macromolecules.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy is an effective antitumor approach through activating immune systems to eradicate tumors by immunotherapeutics. However, direct administration of "naked" immunotherapeutic agents (such as nucleic acids, cytokines, adjuvants or antigens without delivery vehicles) often results in: (1) an unsatisfactory efficacy due to suboptimal pharmacokinetics; (2) strong toxic and side effects due to low targeting (or off-target) efficiency. To overcome these shortcomings, a series of polysaccharide-based nanoparticles have been developed to carry immunotherapeutics to enhance antitumor immune responses with reduced toxicity and side effects. Polysaccharides are a family of natural polymers that hold unique physicochemical and biological properties, as they could interact with immune system to stimulate an enhanced immune response. Their structures offer versatility in synthesizing multifunctional nanocomposites, which could be chemically modified to achieve high stability and bioavailability for delivering therapeutics into tumor tissues. This review aims to highlight recent advances in polysaccharide-based nanomedicines for cancer immunotherapy and propose new perspectives on the use of polysaccharide-based immunotherapeutics.

Abstract
Among the numerous nanomedicine formulations, dendrimers have emerged as original, efficient, carefully assembled, hyperbranched, polymeric nanoparticles based on synthetic monomers. Dendrimers are used either as nanocarriers of drugs or as drugs themselves. When used as drug carriers, dendrimers are considered 'best-in-class agents', modifying and enhancing the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the active entities encapsulated or conjugated with the dendrimers. When used as drugs themselves, dendrimers represent a novel category of "first-in-class" drugs. The purpose of this original review is to analyse the different strategies involved in the development, application, and impact of dendrimers as drugs. We examine a selection of nanoparticles that use multifunctional elements and demonstrate clinical multifunctionality, and we extend these principles to applications in dendrimer nanomedicine design. Finally, for practical consideration, the concepts of vertical and diagonal translation are introduced as potential strategies to facilitate dendrimer development.

Abstract
Based on phenotypic screening, the major advantages of phosphorus dendrimers and dendrons as drugs allowed the discovery of new therapeutic applications, for instance, as anti-cancer and anti-tuberculosis agents. These biological activities depend on the nature of the chemical groups (neutral or cationic) on their surface as well as their generation. As lessons to learn, in the oncology domain, the increase in the generation of metallo-dendrimers is in the same direction as the anti-proliferative activities, in contrast to the development of polycationic dendrimers, where the most potent anti-tuberculosis phosphorus dendrimer was observed to have the lowest generation (G0). The examples presented in this original analysis of phosphorus dendrimers and dendrons provide support for the lessons learned and for the development of new nanoparticles in nanomedicine.
