Dendrimer-based drug and imaging conjugates: design considerations for nanomedical applications
TL;DR: This review focuses on several crucial issues related to the role of dendrimers as nanoscaffolding and nanocontainers, crucial principles that might be invoked for improvingdendrimer cytotoxicity properties, understanding dendricer cellular transport mechanisms and the exciting role ofDendriming as high-contrast MRI imaging agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendrimer toxicity: Let's meet the challenge.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the approaches available to overcome the cationic toxicity inherent associated with the dendrimers is presented, where two strategies have been utilized; first, designing and synthesis of biocompatible dendrrimers; and second, masking of peripheral charge of dendrigers by surface engineering.

Dendrimers as versatile platform in drug delivery applications.
TL;DR: Many commercial small molecule drugs with anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity have been successfully associated with dendrimers such as poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM), poly(propylene imine) (PPI or DAB) and poly(etherhydroxylamine), either via physical interactions or through chemical bonding ('prodrug approach').
