Author(s): Mugdha Kesh and Bhagyashree Goswami

Abstract: Different types of novel drug delivery systems have developed comprising of various routes of administration, to attain controlled and targeted drug delivery, Dendrimers being one of them. Dendrimers are among the latest generations of nanosystems that constitute potential drug carriers. Dendrimer chemistry is one of the most captivating and rapidly growing areas of modern chemistry. In recent years Dendrimers have received significant consideration as drug delivery carrier. Dendrimer as a drug delivery agent is a promising, safe and selective drug delivery option. The most essential property of dendrimer is its highly selective nature for targeting the desired tissue that holds a promising future for the treatment of several disorders. Their safe, nontoxic and biocompatible nature makes them appropriate for site specific as well as prolonged drug delivery carriers.
