Poly Ethoxy Ethyl Glycinamide (PEE-G) Dendrimers: Dendrimers Specifically Designed for Pharmaceutical Applications.

Poly ethoxy ethyl glycinamide (PEE-G) dendrimers have been specifically designed and synthesized with the aim of providing a readily available dendrimer scaffold that can be used to make products that can meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical applications. The synthesis has been refined to produce dendrimers that are of high HPLC purity. The suitability of PEE-G dendrimers for their designed use has been verified by subsequent measurements to demonstrate that they are of high stability, high aqueous solubility, low cytotoxicity, low immunogenicity and with low in vivo toxicity in an escalating-dose rat study. PEE-G dendrimers therefore provide a useful scaffold for researchers wanting to develop dendrimer-based drug candidates.
