| Application |
Dendrons synthesized from bis-MPA are biodegradable and have low cytotoxicity, making them well suited for use in biological research s. These materials have been used in many s such as signal amplification in bioassays and in drug delivery s. After Boc deprotection, amine-functionalized dendrons can be readily used in EDC or DCC coupling reactions with carbonyl-containing compounds to yield highly functionalized materials for a variety of biomedical s. Additionally, the azide-core can be readily conjugated using either copper(I)-catalysed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) or strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC).
