Abstract

The novel hyperbranched, three-dimensional tree-like globular dendritic structures are gaining popularity in the pharmaceutical field because of their attractive characteristics. The possibility of controlling narrow polydispersity index of the fabricated nanostructures possess homogeneous distribution of the particles with large numbers of surface groups for appropriate modification to target specifically to the diseased site. Incorporation of drugs to the void space or surface attachment has been applied through different routes of administration to target different topical diseases, carcinomas, and ailments in the central nervous system. Potential of this tree-like structure has also been progressed for theranostic use for diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Thus, this chapter has highlighted the usefulness of this dendritic structure and its application in the treatment of various diseases.
