Abstract
Currently, dendrimers are molecules widely investigated due to their strong potential for biomedical (including diagnostic, drug discovery, and drug delivery platforms) and others applications. The requirements demanded by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of a new drug application involve several analytical techniques for characterization, which allow understanding the properties of the novel platforms, and to predict their interactions with the biological environment. This work proposes a full description to perform the analytical characterization of dendrimers, including techniques for evaluating the morphology, shape, molecular weight, polydispersity, and purity; as well as methods for the synthesize and conjugation with molecules for targeting.
Keywords: Dendrimers, NMR, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, differential scanning, rheology, scattering techniques, microscopy.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
