Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers have steadily grown in popularity in the past decade in a variety of disciplines, ranging from materials science to biomedicine. This can be attributed in part to their use in applications that range from computer toners to medical diagnostics. PAMAM dendrimers are safe and nonimmunogenic, and can function as highly efficient cationic polymer vectors for delivering genetic material into cells. They have been shown to be as efficient or more efficient than either cationic liposomes or other cationic polymers (e.g. polyethylenimine, polylysine) for in vitro gene transfer. This article will focus on the application of PAMAM dendrimers as a nonviral gene delivery vector from the initial discovery of this capacity to the most recent experimental findings.

The current market for dry powder inhalers (DPIs) has over 20 devices in present use and at least another 30 under development. Clinicians recognize that DPIs are a suitable alternative to pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) for some patients but the relative performance of devices is often unclear. The problem is compounded by the need to reformulate pMDIs with new propellants, introducing further products to the market with associated variations in performance. This article reviews the DPIs currently available, the driving forces governing new designs, and the claimed advantages of DPIs in the development pipeline.

In the veterinary field, the development of new routes of administration or new delivery systems capable of controlling the release of drugs are of considerable interest. Because of the large number of food-producing animals and the unique problems associated with the administration of drugs to these animals, the potential markets are huge and will only be fully realized if improvements to old dosage forms lead to practical and effective formulations. This review intends to summarize the state of the art in the field of veterinary controlled and/or prolonged release systems.
