The following research aims at the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles functionalized with triazine-based dendrons and the application of the obtained materials as effective sorptive materials dedicated to acidic bioactive compounds. The adopted synthetic approach involved: (1) the synthesis of nanosized FeO particles via classic co-precipitation method, (2) the introduction of amine groups on their surface leading to materials' precursor, and (3) the final synthesis of branched triazine-based dendrons on the support surface by an iterative reaction between cyanuric chloride (CC) and piperazine (p) or diethylenetriamine (DETA) via nucleophilic substitution. The characterized materials were tested for their adsorptive properties towards folic acid, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, and vancomycin, showing high adsorption capacities varying in the ranges of 53.33-401.61, 75.82-223.71, and 68.17-132.45 mg g, respectively. The formed material-drug complexes were also characterized for the drug-delivery potential, performed as in vitro release studies at pH 2.0 and 7.4, which mimics the physiological conditions. The release profiles showed that the proposed materials are able to deliver up to 95.2% of the drugs within 48 h, which makes them efficient candidates for further biomedical applications.

Peptides displaying antimicrobial properties are being regarded as useful tools to evade and combat antimicrobial resistance, a major public health challenge. Here we have addressed dendrimers, attractive molecules in pharmaceutical innovation and development displaying broad biological activity. Triazine-based dendrimers were fully synthesized in the solid phase, and their antimicrobial activity and some insights into their mechanisms of action were explored.

Nanoscale engineering is an efficient method for the treatment of multiple infectious diseases. Due to the controllable functionalities, surface properties, and internal cavities, dendrimer-based nanoparticles represent high performance in drug delivery, making their application attractive in pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry. In this study, a dendritic nanostructure (FeO@SiO@TAD-G3) was designed and fabricated by grafting a triazine-based dendrimer on a magnetic nanomaterial.

Off-target side effects are major challenges hindering the clinical success of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors. Various targeting strategies revitalized MMP research to eliminate this drawback. Herein, we developed -triazine-based dendrimeric architecture not only amenable to tumor targeting but also decorated with pharmacophoric entities to endow MMP-9 inhibition for halting cancer progression.

The development of high-performance solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) remains a challenge. An effective solution, highlighted in this work, is to use highly efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) dendrimers as emitters. Here, the design, synthesis, density functional theory (DFT) modeling, and photophysics of three triazine-based dendrimers, tBuCz2pTRZ, tBuCz2mTRZ, and tBuCz2m2pTRZ, is reported, which resolve the conflicting requirements of achieving simultaneously a small ΔE and a large oscillator strength by incorporating both meta- and para-connected donor dendrons about a central triazine acceptor.

Three new amino--triazine-based dendrons, , , and , containing an aryl-CN moiety in the dendritic skeleton were prepared in 72-81% yields (: R = - N(-CH), R = -OCH, : R = R = - N(-CH), : R = - N(-CH), R = - N(-CH)). Dendrons with N(-CH) and -OCH peripheral substituents, surprisingly, did not show any mesogenic phase during the thermal process. However, non-mesogenic can be converted to mesogenic or by eliminating the peripheral dipole arising from the alkoxy substituent; dendron only comprising the same N(-CH) peripheral groups showed a ~25 °C mesogenic range on heating and ~108 °C mesogenic range on cooling.
