Resumen:

There are many studies on drug delivery via dendrimers, yet many of them are difficult or expensive to obtain. Another problem, which has been found, is that most of the structures and functionalities are toxic. However, when triazine based dendrimers are used as carriers, their synthesis is quite easy and inexpensive, and there is no need to perform special methods to change the functional groups. It is as easy as changing the temperature and the addition of the corresponding monomer. On the other hand, the toxicity of the obtained dendrimers have been proved to be less or none toxic at all. Nevertheless, this type of dendrimers had hardly been used in applications as drug delivery agents. Therefore, it is of great interest to make a revision on the research that had been done so far related to triazine based dendrimers used as drug delivery agents. © 2012 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
