Surface vibrational sum frequency and Raman studies of PAMAM G0, G1 and acylated PAMAM G0 dendrimers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first surface vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopic studies of amine-terminated Starburst® PAMAM G0 and G1 and acylated PAMAM G0 dendrimers at the glass–, gold–, and air–dendrimer interface are presented. Amine-terminated PAMAM G0 and G1 dendrimers as compared to the acylated PAMAM G0 dendrimer reveal significantly different surface SFG spectroscopic signatures. Raman spectra from PAMAM G0 and G1 dendrimers are presented for comparison of the bulk vibrational spectra to that of the surface. The SFG data is suggestive of skewed methylene conformations in a distribution about the normal of the surface. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

In Vitro Evaluation of Third Generation PAMAM Dendrimer Conjugates.
The present study compares the use of high generation G3 and low generation G0 Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers as drug carriers of naproxen (NAP), a poorly water soluble drug. Naproxen was conjugated to G3 in different ratios and to G0 in a 1:1 ratio via a diethylene glycol linker. A lauroyl chain (L), a lipophilic permeability enhancer, was attached to G3 and G0 prodrugs. The G3 and G0 conju...

متن کاملInvestigation of dendriplexes by ion mobility-mass spectrometry.
Highly branched polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers presenting biological activities have been envisaged as non-viral gene delivery vectors. They are known to associate with nucleic acid (DNA) in non-covalent complexes via electrostatic interactions. Although their transfection efficiency has been proved, PAMAMs present a significant cytotoxicity due to their cationic surface. To overcome such a ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of physiochemical parameters (such as size, molecular weight, molecular geometry, and number of surface amine groups) of poly (amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers, on their permeability across Caco-2 cell monolayers. The permeability of a series of PAMAM dendrimers, generations 0-4 (G0-G4), was investigated across Caco-2 cell monolayers in...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the action of photons on photosensitive molecules, where atomic oxygen or OH(-) molecular species are locally released on pathogenic human cells, which are mainly carcinogenic, thus causing cell necrosis. The efficacy of PDT depends on the local nanothermodynamic conditions near the cell/nanodrug system that control both the level of intracellular translocati...
