General description

Dendrimers with Poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) core are widely used in drug delivery systems. These dendrimers are end functionalized with hydroxyl groups which increas its biocompatibility. PEG is used as the core since it is non-toxic, non-immunogenic with favorable pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution. They are also soluble in aqueous and many organic solvents.†††

Features and Benefits

Well-defined structure, high intrinsic drug loading capability, flexibility for tailored functionalization.
