Blood Compatibility of Amphiphilic Phosphorous Dendrons—Prospective Drug Nanocarriers

Dendrons are branched synthetic polymers suitable for preparation of nanosized drug delivery systems. Their interactions with biological systems are mainly predetermined by their chemical structure, terminal groups, surface charge, and the number of branched layers (generation). Any new compound int...

description Dendrons are branched synthetic polymers suitable for preparation of nanosized drug delivery systems.
