Abstract

Dendrimers are macromolecules having highly branched, 3D structure, nanoscale architecture with monodispersity and high
functionality. These features make it attractive candidates as drug carriers for controlled release or targeted delivery.
Encapsulation offers the potential of dendrimers to interact with labile or poorly soluble drugs, enhance drug stability,
bioavailability. Dendrimer is a smart polymer having various applicability in pharmaceutics, industry and diagnosis. This
review covers the points of synthesis, types, properties, encapsulation, applications, characterisation etc.
