Ester prodrugs are most often used to enhance the lipophilicity, and thus the passive membrane permeability, of water-soluble drugs by masking charged groups such as carboxylic acids and ...

The syntheses of novel dendrimers composed of glycerol and succinic acid are described. These “biodendrimers” are composed entirely of building blocks known to be biocompatible or degradable in vivo ...

The electrosynthesis of chemicals from biomass-derived glycerol presents a promising pathway for sustainable chemical production, effectively addressing surplus glycerol from biodiesel production and ...

Several alternatives have been considered to minimize the environmental impact caused by conventional polymers. This study aims to evaluate the chemical, mechanical and morphological properties of ...
