It has been proposed to employ material "inside” the dendrimers which would allow the resulting material to be used in a variety of applications such as genetic therapy, drug delivery and even computer chips. For example, such "balls” can carry genetic materials into cells to repair birth defects. Alternatively, dendrimers can act as a delivery system for drugs.

  • PAMAM Poly(amidoamine) dendrimers were linked to a mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) via amide bond formation by the method of Figure 1.
  • MUA mercaptoundecanoic acid
  • SAM self-assembled monolayer
  • Figure 4 shows the amide and carbonyl region of these spectra.
  • Example 2 Because dendrimers of different size and chemical composition may prove suitable for integration into array-based chemical sensors, it is desirable to provide surfaces of varying chemical composition. To illustrate this, a methyl ester-terminated dendrimers using the Michael addition of methyl acrylate to the primary amine terminal groups of surface-confined dendrimers was prepared. Following conversion, the characteristic signature of the methyl ester in the carbonyl region of the infrared spectrum (1720-1740cm "1 ) was observed.
  • Figure 5 illustrates the relationship between surface reactivity, gauged by the area of this carbonyl band, and the square of the dendrimer radius (r d 2 ) .
  • the graph illustrates two important points. First, below the threshold at which PANAM dendrimers adopt a globular geometry (GO and G2) , the dendrimer films show no reactivity because all or most of the outer functional groups react with the surface during attachment. Second, above the threshold at which PANAM dendrimers adopt a globular geometry (G4-G8) , the number of dendrimer film reactive sites increases linearly with r d 2 , indicating that methyl ester conversion is proportional to the surface area of the surface-confined dendrimer spheroids. This is consistent with the three-dimensional evolution of film structure.
  • Example 3 To determine the suitability of dendrimer surfaces as chemically sensitive interfaces, we sequentially dosed dendrimer-modified surface acoustic wave (SAW) mass balances with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) having different functional groups (Figure 6) .
  • Figure 6a is an example of unprocessed data from a typical SAW experiment. It illustrates how the dendrimer-modified device response possesses three of the essential attributes for an ideal chemical sensor: (1) the response to dosants is very rapid, and there is no detectable permeation transient, (2) the device signal- to-noise ratio is excellent, and (3) the response is typically completely reversible.
  • FIG. 6b summarizes the results from vapor-phase dosing of dendrimer-modified surfaces.
  • the response to VOCs decreases in the order acid > alcohols > hydrophobic dosants.
  • This response order is more pronounced for the G4-G8-modified surfaces and is dictated by the PANAM structure which possesses hydrogen-bonding exoreceptors and endoreceptors.
  • the G4-modified surface is the most responsive material probably because, although it is the smallest of the spheroidal dendrimers, its interior endoreceptors are most accessible.
  • GO and G2 dendrimer films are not as effective at discriminating between the three different classes of probes since these surfaces have few or no free amine terminal groups and no coherent endoreceptive ability.
