The synthesis of water soluble dendrimers, and their application as possible drug delivery systems

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)02680-X

The synthesis of two water soluble dendrimers is described. The formation of water soluble inclusion complexes with a variety of small, hydrophobic guest molecules is also described. Moreover, when these guest molecules are drug moieties, then the resulting drug/dendrimer complexes can be considered ideal candidates for use as novel drug delivery systems.
