Abstract

Dendrimers are having novel three dimensional, synthetic hyperbranched, nano-polymeric structure. Among all of the dendrimers, Poly-amidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer are used enormously applying materials in supramolecular chemistry. This review described the structure, characteristic, synthesis, toxicity, and surface modification of PAMAM dendrimer. Various strategies in supramolecular chemistry of PAMAM for synthesizing it at commercial and laboratory scales along with their limitations and applications has also discussed. When compared to other nano polymers, the characteristics of supramolecular PAMAM dendrimers in nanopolymer science has shown significant achievement in transporting drugs for molecular targeted therapy, particularly in host–guest reaction. It also finds its applications in gene transfer devices and imaging of biological systems with minimum cytotoxicity. From that viewpoint, this review has elaborated the structural and safety aspect of PAMAM for targeted drug delivery with pharmaceuticals in addition to the biomedical application.
