MeSH Heading: Dendrimers
Tree Number(s): D05.750.327; E02.319.300.380.200; J01.637.512.600.200
Unique ID: D050091
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D050091
Annotation: coordinate with compounds comprising the dendrimers
Scope Note: Tree-like, highly branched, polymeric compounds. They grow three-dimensionally by the addition of shells of branched molecules to a central core. The overall globular shape and presence of cavities gives potential as drug carriers and CONTRAST AGENTS.
Entry Term(s): Dendrimer; Dendritic Compounds; Dendritic Polymers; Dendrons
