Abstract:
Novel polyamidoamine (PAMAM) side chain dendritic polyurethane (SCDPU-PEG) architecture embedded with poly(ethylene glycol) has been prepared. This novel SCDPU-PEG was characterized by means of FT-IR, NMR ((1)H and (13)C) spectroscopic, GPC, and thermal analyses and intrinsic viscosity measurements. Studies on cytotoxicity by means of MTT assay and interaction of L-tryptophan with this polydendron have been achieved.

Site-Targeted Drug Delivery Systems: Polymeric Carriers
Polymeric carriers enhance targeted drug delivery by increasing efficacy while minimizing off-target effects. These carriers comprise a biodegradable polymeric backbone integrated with functional elements that enable targeting, improve physicochemical properties, and regulate drug release.Targeting MechanismsThe targeting ability of polymeric carriers is mediated by a homing device, which is a molecular recognition component designed to selectively bind to specific tissues or cells.

Physical Properties of Amines
Amines with low molecular weight are usually gaseous at room temperature, while those with high molecular weight are liquid or solids in nature. Usually, low molecular weight amines have a rotten fish-like smell. Diamines typically have a pungent smell. For instance, cadaverine and putrescine, depicted in Figure 1, are two molecules responsible for decaying tissue.
