Dendrimers have successfully proved themselves as useful additives in different routes of drug administration because they can render drugs greater water-solubility, bioavailability, and biocompatibility. This review demonstrated the potential of dendrimers to be applied in these detailed routes with particular reference to intravenous, oral, transdermal, and ocular delivery systems. As a necessary introduction, the structures, synthesis, and properties of dendrimers were presented. Furthermore, the interaction mechanisms between dendrimers and drug molecules, including simple encapsulation, electrostatic interaction, and covalent conjugation, were elaborated.

## Abstract Gelatin microspheres have been widely evaluated as a drug carrier. Nevertheless, gelatin dissolves rather rapidly in aqueous environments, making the use of the polymer difficult for the production of longβterm delivery systems. This adverse aspect requires the use of a crosslinking age
Demonstration and quantification of site-specific intracoronary administration of pharmacological compounds has been limited thus far to animal experimental models. Recently, a method applicable in humans has been developed. The aim of this study is to give an overview on the available methods to vi
