Developmental toxicity of low generation PAMAM dendrimers in zebrafish.
Biological molecules and intracellular structures operate at the nanoscale; therefore, development of nanomedicines shows great promise for the treatment of disease by using targeted drug delivery and gene therapies. PAMAM dendrimers, which are highly branched polymers with low polydispersity and high functionality, provide an ideal architecture for construction of effective drug carriers, gene...
متن کاملStructure of PAMAM Dendrimers: Generations
The structure and dynamics of poly(amido amide) (PAMAM) dendrimers have been of great interest both scientifically and industrially, but such important features as the distributions of atoms, channels, and strain inside these molecules remain unresolved. This paper reports results from systematic investigations of the atomistic structure of ethylenediamine (EDA) cored PAMAM dendrimer up through...
متن کاملComparative toxicological assessment of PAMAM and thiophosphoryl dendrimers using embryonic zebrafish
Dendrimers are well-defined, polymeric nanomaterials currently being investigated for biomedical applications such as medical imaging, gene therapy, and tissue targeted therapy. Initially, higher generation (size) dendrimers were of interest because of their drug carrying capacity. However, increased generation was associated with increased toxicity. The majority of studies exploring dendrimer ...
متن کاملPAMAM dendrimers interact with biological RNA molecules
Polycationic dendrimer-based gene transfer is one of the most important biological applications of dendrimers, which involves electrostatic interactions between the positively charged dendrimer end groups and the negatively charged phosphate groups in DNA. Such features could also be used to bind biologically important RNA molecules, which are emerging as both important therapeutic targets and ...
متن کاملHigh Fluorescent Porphyrin-PAMAM-Fluorene Dendrimers.
Two new classes of dendrimers bearing 8 and 32 fluorene donor groups have been synthesized. The first and second generations of these porphyrin-PAMAM-fluorene dendrimers were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy, elemental analyses and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The UV-vis spectra showed that the individual properties of donor and acceptor moieties were preserved, indic...
