Transition Metal-containing Dendrimers in Biomedicine

This book brings chemistry, biology, pharmaceutical science and medicine, to introduce readers to a number of classes of transition metal-containing dendrimers.

---

There has been increasing research into designing transition metal-containing dendrimers as innovative materials, especially in the field of biomedicine and pharmaceutical science. They have applications in biosensors and drug-delivery systems, and are now one of the leading classes in the design of therapeutics for drug-resistant diseases.


This book introduces readers to a number of classes of metal-containing dendrimers, before moving onto their design and synthesis. Their applications in biomedicine are then discussed, before highlighting future research targets in this growing field. It emphasizes the synthetic strategies to design transition metal-containing dendrimers, and discusses the type of laboratory work used to examine these types of dendrimers in the fields of medicine and pharmacology, including their antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities.


Transition Metal-containing Dendrimers in Biomedicine brings chemistry, biology, pharmaceutical science and medical fields together to design these future materials which will have global benefits.
