Tailor-Made Soluble Polymer Carriers

  • Chapter
Targeting of Drugs 6

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 300))

Abstract

Poly(amido-amines) (PAAs) are synthetic polymers characterized by the presence of amido and tertiary amino groups regularly arranged along their macromolecular chain. Therefore, they can be classified as polycations.
