Abstract

Nanotechnology is a science that covers a great number of fields. One of the most prominent is the field of human health. Among the great variety of nanoparticles used in therapeutics, the role of dendrimers should be highlighted. Dendrimers have stimulated wide interest in the fields of chemistry and biology, especially in applications like drug delivery, gene therapy, and chemotherapy, but also many other applications such as image diagnosis, acting as mimics of proteins, use as excipients of drugs, or in the cosmetics industry. Advances in their use as antimicrobials are giving encouraging results. In this sense, dendrimers seem to stand out in treatment against HIV-1, not only for their targeting capacity but also for their own activity in the synthesis of a therapeutic vaccine or to serve as antilatents. This review gives information about dendrimers’ properties, synthesis, and application in drug delivery, diagnosis, and therapy.
