Dendrimers: properties and applications. Key words: dendrimers, cascade molecules, PAMAM dendrimers. In the divergent methods, dendrimer grows Synthesis of a dendrimer according to the divergent method (Fig. 2.1) proceeds. stepwise starting from a multi-functionalised core building block, to whose reactive. Method of synthesise Dedrimer:- Divergent methods Figure 4: Schematic of divergent synthesis of dendrimers The dendrimer is assembled from a multifunctional core. The synthesis was accomplished by a divergent reiterating method involving repeating subsequent Michael addition. PAMAM, divergent strategy of Tomalia and co. The first dendrimers were made by divergent synthesis approaches by Fritz. PAMAM dendrimer/DNA complexes were used to encapsulate functional biodegradable polymer. Convergent Synthesis of Internally Branched PAMAM Dendrimers Michael Pittelkow and Jørn B. Christensen* Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Copenhagen, Both of divergent/convergent approaches are possible. Hawker, C. J.; Sharpless. PEGylated G4-PAMAM dendrimer. Kono, K. et al. Bioconj. Chem. 2000, 11, 910. Prusty Amaresh IRJP 2012, 3 (2) Page 10 INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH JOURNAL OF PHARMACY. (PAMAM) are synthesized by the divergent method starting from ammonia or The synthesis of unsymmetrical dendrimers possessing terminal methyl ester groups on one face, and iso-butylamide groups on the opposite face is reported. The f Poly(amidoamine), or PAMAM. Divergent synthesis refers to the sequential growth of a dendrimer layer by layer, starting with a core initiator molecule which.
