Abstract:
We have developed a straightforward method to prepare 1(st) and 2(nd) generation adamantane-based dendrons, previously called HYDRAmers, bearing at the periphery the anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen. The multivalency effect on the drug activity was studied, demonstrating that our multivalent ibuprofen-dendron conjugates exert an enhanced anti-inflammatory activity compared to free ibuprofen, in vitro. These results provide insights into the effect of HYDRAmer multivalency on biological interactions for therapeutic applications.
