A fourth wheel: Two sets of bifunctional AB2C dendrimers having internal acetylene/azides and external hydroxy groups were constructed utilizing benign synthetic protocols. An in situ postfunctionalizationstrategy was successfully carried out to illustrate the chemoselective nature of these dendrimers. The dendrimers were also transformed into dendritic nanoparticles or utilized as dendritic crosslinkers

A library of eight amphiphilic Janus glycodendrimers (Janus-GDs) presenting D-lactose (Lac) and a combination of Lac with up to eight methoxytriethoxy (3EO) units in a sequence-defined arrangement was synthesized via an iterative modular methodology. The length of the linker between Lac and the hydrophobic part of the Janus-GDs was also varied. Self-assembly by injection from THF solution into phosphate-buffered saline led to unilamellar, monodisperse glycodendrimersomes (GDSs) with dimensions predicted by Janus-GD concentration. These GDSs provided a toolbox to measure bioactivity profiles in agglutination assays with sugar-binding proteins (lectins). Three naturally occurring forms of the human adhesion/growth-regulatory lectin galectin-8, Gal-8S and Gal-8L, which differ by the length of linker connecting their two active domains, and a single amino acid mutant (F19Y), were used as probes to study activity and sensor capacity. Unpredictably, the sequence of Lac on the Janus-GDs was demonstrated to determine bioactivity, with the highest level revealed for a Janus-GD with six 3EO groups and one Lac. A further increase in Lac density was invariably accompanied by a substantial decrease in agglutination, whereas a decrease in Lac density resulted in similar or lower bioactivity and sensor capacity. Both changes in topology of Lac presentation of the GDSs and seemingly subtle alterations in protein structure resulted in different levels of bioactivity, demonstrating the presence of regulation on both GDS surface and lectin. These results illustrate the applicability of Janus-GDs to dissect structure activity relationships between programmable cell surface models and human lectins in a highly sensitive and physiologically relevant manner.

A dendritic structure includes a core and repeating units, wherein the repeating units comprise units of the type AB
x
C
y
, wherein x is 2, 3, or 4, wherein y is 1, 2, or 3, wherein C is selected from the group consisting of azides and alkynes, and wherein every repeating unit is bound to at least one other unit with at least one bond selected from the group consisting of the group consisting of an ester, an amide, a thioether, an ether, a urethane, an amine, and an imine. Advantages include that a “one-pot” growth of the dendritic structure is possible. It is possible to have more functional groups in a dendritic structure. It is possible to add different functional groups simultaneously both to an inner layer and to an outer layer in a dendritic structure.
