ABSTRACT Dendrimers are a new class of polymeric materials. A dendrimer described as a macromolecule characterized by its highly branched 3D structure which provides a high degree of surface functionality and versatility. Drugs are delivered through nanotubes in therapy, and specifically in the treatment of cancerous tumors. Dendrimers' unique characteristics such as hyper branching, well-defined spherical structure, and high compatibility with the biological systems are responsible for their wide range of applications including medical and biomedical areas. This review briefly discusses the various aspects of dendrimers including introduction, needs of dendrimer, advantages, disadvantages, properties, component of a dendrimers, structure, different methods of synthesis of dendrimers, characterization and dendrimers based products and their use as pharmaceutical, therapeutic, diagnostic agent and their potential for applications in drug delivery such as carrier molecule, toxicity, current challenges, future prospect, conclusion. The review aims to emphasize on construction, characterization, drug delivery and possible application of dendrimers in various areas of research, technology and treatment.
