Abstract |
Dendrimers are monodisperse, hyper-branched, and nanoscale-sized carriers with high functionality. These carriers possess well-defined molecular weights, sizes, and shapes. Hydrophobic drug molecules are either encapsulated in the interior void space or attached to the surface of the dendrimer. They are distinguishable due to their unique characteristics such as poly valency, self-amassing, electrostatic associations, solubility enhancers, and low cytotoxicity. It is utilized in a wide range of applications which include pharmaceutical fields, biomedical fields, drug delivery systems, oncology departments. When compared to conventional macromolecules, it has a denser functional group at the surface. Dendrimers are synthesized by divergent or convergent techniques. It reduces the toxic side effects. This review will cover a number of dendrimer-related topics such as structure, growth, synthesis, and type of polymers. |
