title: Novel poly(ethylene glycol) embedded polyamidoamine side chain dendritic polyurethane architecture: synthesis and preliminary studies on the cytotoxicity and interaction with tryptophan molecule.
abstract: Novel polyamidoamine (PAMAM) side chain dendritic polyurethane (SCDPU-PEG) architecture embedded with poly(ethylene glycol) has been prepared. This novel SCDPU-PEG was characterized by means of FT-IR, NMR ((1)H and (13)C) spectroscopic, GPC, and thermal analyses and intrinsic viscosity measurements. Studies on cytotoxicity by means of MTT assay and interaction of L-tryptophan with this polydendron have been achieved.
