Abstract:"Dendrimers are synthetic, branched macromolecules. Compared to linear polymers, dendrimers hold multiple advantages as potential carrier molecules: high capacity to incorporate pharmacologically active substances, chemical stability of micelles under physiological conditions, increased bioavailability of active substances covalently or noncovalently bound to dendrimers, due to increased dendrimers capacity to cross biological barriers. The carrier potential of dendrimers has been evaluated in combination with… Show more
