AB3 building blocks for the synthesis of polyester dendrimers

The dendrimer paradox – high medical expectations but poor clinical translation

This review was written with the intention to critically evaluate the status of dendrimers as drug carriers and find answers as to why this class of compounds has not translated into the clinic despite 40 years of research.

Synthesis of novel types of polyester glycodendrimers as potential inhibitors of urinary tract infections

Syntheses of highly mannosylated polyester dendrimers with 2, 4, 8, and 16 α-d-mannopyranose residues on their peripheries connected by different linker arms are presented.

Convergent synthesis of degradable dendrons based on l-malic acid

Dendron synthesis using malic acid derivatives in a stepwise manner leads to the preparation of polyfunctional dendrons, degradable by hydrolysis.
