Recent advances in PAMAM mediated nano-vehicles for targeted drug delivery in cancer therapy.

3-D multi-faceted, nano-globular PAMAM dendritic skeleton is a highly significant polymer that offers applications in biomedical, industrial, environmental and agricultural fields. This is mainly due to its enhanced properties, including adjustable surface functionalities, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, high uniformity and reduced cytotoxicity, as well as its numerous internal cavities. This trait inspires further exploration and advancements in tailoring approaches. The implementation of deliberate strategic modifications in the morphological characteristics of PAMAM is crucial through chemical and biological interventions, in addition to its therapeutic advancements. Thus, the production of peripheral groups remains a prominent and highly advanced technique in molecular fabrication, aimed at boosting the potential of PAMAM conjugates. Currently, there exist numerous dendritic-hybrid materials, despite the widespread use of PAMAM-conjugated frameworks as drug delivery systems, which are well regarded for their efficacy in enhancing potency through the incorporation of surface functions. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent progress in the design and assembly of various components of PAMAM conjugates, focusing on their unique formulations. The review encompasses synthetic methodologies, a thorough evaluation of their applicability, and an analysis of their potential functions in the context of Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) in the current period.
