ZWITTERIONIC DENDRITIC AMPHIPHILES, ZWITTERIONIC DENDRIMERS, ZWITTERIONIC TELODENDRIMERS, NANOCARRIERS COMPRISING SAME, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME

摘要

Zwitterionic dendrimers and zwitterionic polymers and methods of making the zwitterionic dendrimers/polymers are provided herein. Also provided are amphiphilic dendrimers and amphiphilic telodendnmers with one or more zwitterionic dendron/polymer/linear group(s)/moiety(s) covalently bonded thereto. The amphiphilic dendrimers and amphiphilic telodendrimers are useful in N protein binding and drug delivery. The amphiphilic dendrimers and amphiphilic telodendrimers are used in methods of treatment and/or imaging.
