چکیده
A robust biodegradable hydrogel is constructed from two components containing G4.0 PAMAM and DOPA, which displays excellent interconnected porous 3D networks, higher mechanical strength, low and stable swelling and good biocompatibility. A mouse CSD model in vivo evidences that moderate bone-like tissue and extensive bony tissue are observed when the hydrogel is implanted.

Cellular Delivery of Nanostructured Poly(amido amine) Dendrimers and Establishment of a Simple Methodology upon Ninhydrin Reaction
Dendrimer based nanostructures have been increasingly used for delivery of drugs/genes. These nanosystems, as non-viral gene delivery systems, were shown to have relatively high transfection efficiency despite exerting somewhat cytotoxicity. In this current investigation, poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers, generation (G) zero to five, PEGylated PAMAM G3 and a new quaternized PAMAM G4 ...
متن کاملDendrimer-Inspired Nanomaterials for the in Vivo Delivery of siRNA to Lung Vasculature.
Targeted RNA delivery to lung endothelial cells has the potential to treat conditions that involve inflammation, such as chronic asthma and obstructive pulmonary disease. To this end, chemically modified dendrimer nanomaterials were synthesized and optimized for targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery to lung vasculature. Using a combinatorial approach, the free amines on multigeneratio...
متن کاملDNA condensation by partially acetylated poly(amido amine) dendrimers: effects of dendrimer charge density on complex formation.
The ability of poly(amido amine) (or PAMAM) dendrimers to condense semiflexible dsDNA and penetrate cell membranes gives them great potential in gene therapy and drug delivery but their high positive surface charge makes them cytotoxic. Here, we describe the effects of partial neutralization by acetylation on DNA condensation using light scattering, circular dichroism, and single molecule imagi...

Background: Nanoscale poly (amidoamine) dendrimers have been investigated for their biological demands, but their antibacterial activity has not been widely discovered. Thus, the sixth generation of poly (amidoamine) dendrimer (PAMAM-G6) was synthesized and its antibacterial activities were evaluated on Gram-negative bacteria; P. aeruginosa, E. coli, A. baumannii, S. typhimur...
متن کاملHydrogels assembled from star-shaped polypeptides with dendrimer as core
A second or fourth generation dendrimer with primary amine as peripheral terminal groups was firstly synthesized via Michael addition and thiol-yne addition. A series of star-shaped polypeptide was synthesized by ring opening polymerization (ROP) of γ-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl) L-glutamate (LEG2Glu) N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) using amine group terminated dendrimer as initiator. Taking advantage o...
