Dendrimers,
which are a type of hyper-branched, three-dimensional, and nanostructural
architecture polymers, exhibit a range of unique characteristics such as
enhanced drug solubility, uniform size, surface multifunctional groups, and
high loading capacity. These properties make dendrimers adaptable and
biocompatible, and they have been gaining significant attention in the
pharmaceutical industry as potential drug carriers for targeting, delivery, and
controlled release systems. Dendrimers can be used for a broad range of
therapeutic agents, and their well-defined structure, along with their
synthesis, which is controlled through a stepwise method, enables them to
overcome the challenges that have arisen during drug development, such as
solubility, bioavailability, targeting, and permeability. Dendrimers are widely
recognized as a useful nanostructure that can enhance drug solubility and
reduce cytotoxicity problems. Polyamidoamine PAMAM and poly(propylene) imine
PPI are the two most commonly employed dendritic polymers in the formulation of
various therapeutic agents. This review examines the applicability of
dendrimers in the pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors, their advantages,
limitations, and their synthesis.
My name is Suren Azad
Ramadhan, and I am a pharmaceutical specialist in pharmaceutics. I hold a
Bachelor's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, and a Master's degree in
Pharmaceutics, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in the same field.
Additionally, I am a health awareness activist. I work as a Lecturer of
Industrial Pharmacy, Cosmeceutical Sciences, Pharmacy Management, and
Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics at the College of Pharmacy,
Pharmaceutics Department at Knowledge University. Since 2016, I have been
active in the Kurdistan pharmaceutical market, assuming various roles until I
arrived at my current position as a Product and Marketing Manager in March
2021. Throughout my professional career, I have had the privilege of being
involved in numerous national and international symposiums and conferences,
taking on various roles such as attendee, speaker, and member of the organizing
committee. These experiences have provided me with valuable opportunities to
expand my knowledge, network with professionals in my field, and contribute to
the advancement of research and innovation.
