Abstract

Dendrimers are monodisperse macromolecules with a lot of branches. Dendrimers' structural advantages enable them to play a key role in the field of nano-drug delivery. Dendrimers are ideal for a wide range of biological and industrial applications due to their unique behaviour. The bioactive substances may be readily encapsulated into the inside of the dendrimers or chemically conjugated or physically adsorbed onto the dendrimer surface, tailoring the carrier's desirable features to the active material's unique demands and therapeutic uses. This review summarizes on dendrimer production, characterization, advantages, and potential applications in drug delivery.
