Dendrimers: As a potential carrier for medicaments

Abstract

The objective of nanomedicine is to control and manipulate biomacromolecular constructs and supramolecular assemblies that are critical to living cells in order to improve the quality of human health. So, nanostructured carrier was developed which have high level of control possible over the architectural design of dendrimers; their size, shape, branching length/density, and their surface functionality, clearly distinguishes these structures as unique and optimum carriers in those applications. Dendrimers are currently attracting the interest of a great number of scientists because of their unusual chemical and physical properties and the wide range of potential application in such different fields as medicine, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering.
