Polyester Dendrimers: Smart Carriers for Drug Delivery

Polyester dendrimers: a versatile nanocarrier for target specific drug delivery

Background Improving the therapeutic index of drugs is a major impetus for innovation in many therapeutic areas such as HIV, cancer, inflammatory and other infectious diseases. Polyester based dendrimers constitute a very attractive class of materials because they are less toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible. Our aim is to develop a novel ester based versatile dendritic nanocarrier that coul...

Patidar and Thakur: Dendrimers: Potential Carriers for Drug Delivery

The objectives of nanomedicine are to control and manipulate drug delivery, biomacromolecular constructions and supramolecular assemblies, which are critical to living cells in order to improve the quality of human health. Nanostructured carries are developed which have high level of control over the architectural design of dendrimers; their size, shape, branching length/density, and their surf...

Dendrimers: Nanopharmaceuticals for Drug Delivery

Dendrimers are new class of polymeric materials. It is generally described as a macromolecule, which is characterized by its extensively branched 3D structure that provides a high degree of surface functionality and versatility. Dendrimers are highly branched, globular macromolecules with many arms emanating from a central core. The unique properties associated with these dendrimers such as uni...

Multiparticulate Carriers for Controlled Oral Drug Delivery

Porous Carriers for Controlled/Modulated Drug Delivery

Considerable research efforts have been directed in recent years towards the development of porous carriers as controlled drug delivery matrices because of possessing several features such as stable uniform porous structure, high surface area, tunable pore size and well-defined surface properties. Owing to wide range of useful properties porous carriers have been used in pharmaceuticals for man...
