The attractive ex vivo cytotoxicity against two glioma cell lines; U-251 and T-98G and phase solubility studies of TMZ revealed remarkable results. In vivo studies of prepared nanoformulation were significant and promising that explored the double concentration of TMZ in brain due to surface functionality of dendrimer. The reported work is novel and non- obvious as none of such approaches using chitosan anchored dendrimer for TMZ delivery has been reported earlier.
