Synthesis and Enzymatic Degradation of Dendrimers from (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid and Trimesic Acid

摘要

Dendrimers are attracting growing interest for use in stereoselective synthesis, as a new type of material, and in biological studies, for example as DNA carriers. We now report on the first synthesis of monodisperse, enzymatically degradable, polyanionic dendnmers from (R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid (HB) and trimesic acid.
