DENDRIMERS - AN OVERVIEW ON TYPES AND APPLICATIONS Authors: Haarika B , R. PRASANTHI AND SREENIVAS N
ABSTRACT
Dendrimers are nanosized, symmetrical molecules having a small atom which is surrounded
by many symmetric branches known as dendrons. Dendrimers structure possesses the greatest
impact on drug release. They grow outwards from core-shell that further reacts with
monomers. These are having high compatibility with the biological systems. The presence of
hyper branching, the well-defined spherical structure are the unique characteristics. These
dendrimers are having a wide range of applications including medical and biomedical areas.
Nano formulations based on dendrimers enhances solubility of low soluble drugs, arrives to
the target tissue, enhanced bioavailability and havecontrolled drug release. In this review, we
mainly focussed on the types of nanosystems, synthesis, classification and applications of
dendrimers in drug delivery. Dendrimer structures which are synthesized by two different
methods that are divergent and convergent growth methods.
