In recent years, there has been a growing demand for novel strategies for biomedical applications. Chitosan is a typical cationic amino-containing polysaccharide that has been widely used due to its unique properties. The grafting modification of chitosan has been explored as an interesting method to develop multifunctional novel chitosan hybrid materials for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and other biomedical applications. Recently, “click” chemistry has been introduced into the synthesis of polymeric materials with well-defined and complex chain architectures. The Huisgen’s 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between alkynes and azides yielding triazoles is the principal example of a “click” reaction. Bioconjugation, surface modification, and orthogonal functionalization of polymers were successfully performed through this chemoselective reaction. In recent literature interest has been shown in this cycloaddition for the modification of polysaccharides, however, only a few chitosan graft copolymers have been synthesized by this technique.

The physical properties of ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDCs) make them promising candidates as active nanomaterials for catalysis, optoelectronics, and biomedical applications. Chemical modification of TMDCs is expected to be key in modifying/adding new functions that will help make such promise a reality. We present a mild method for the modification of the basal planes of 2H-MoS<sub>2</sub> and WS<sub>2</sub>. We exploit the soft nucleophilicity of sulfur to react it with maleimide derivatives, achieving covalent functionalization of 2H-TMDCs under very mild conditions. Extensive characterization proves that the reaction occurs through Michael addition. Our results adapt one of the most popular “click” reactions in polymer chemistry and biochemistry to obtain a powerful tool for the chemical manipulation of TMDCs.

Glycopeptide dendrimers are attractive candidates for biomedical applications. Here, an efficient method for preparing multivalent MUC1 glycopeptide dendrimers based on β-cyclodextrin is described. By using copper(I) bromide and thioanisole as a catalyst system, precisely defined heptavalent conjugates were efficiently obtained. Using this heptavalent glycopeptide dendrimer, we observed multivalent effects in recognition and association processes in antibody and epitope interactions, which might have biomedical applications.
