A. Functionalized Dendrimers/Hyperbranched polymers as Drug Carriers

1. Introduction of appropriate functional groups at the external surface of dendrimers or hyperbranched polymers (dendritic polymers) for the production of drug carriers exhibiting low toxicity, stability in biological fluids and targeting capacity for specific tissues
2. Encapsulation of active pharmaceutical compounds into the nanocavities of dendritic polymers
