摘要
A single triggering event in the core of a dendrimer composed of two or more generations of multiple-release monomeric building blocks can induce the release of all end groups at the termini of the dendrimer (see schematic representation). Such multiple-release systems could find application, for example, in the field of (targeted) drug delivery, where a disease- or organ-specific activation event could trigger simultaneous release of multiple biologically active molecules.
