may be made of gold, silver, Fe 2 O 3 , metal alloys, etc. while the core is surrounded by a functional ized linker or ligands (aliphatic chain, PEG, dextran or mixture thereof) to increase drug delivery specifity (Parak, W. J. Chem. Soc. Rev,, 2008, 37, 1896 - 1908). Carbon nanotubes belong to the family of fullerenes and are formed of coaxial graphite sheets rolled up into cylinders, in the form of single (one graphite sheet) or multi-walled concentric nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes can also be rendered water soluble by surface functionalization (Pilizu, S. et a/., J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol., 2006, 6, 1883-1904). Suitable polymers, which may be used as the Z scaffold comprise both artificial and natural polymers. For instance, artificial polymers include poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG), poly(amidoamine), poly(propyleneamine) (POPAM), poly(propyleneimine) (PPI), etc., while natural polymers include peptides, oligopeptides and sugars, such as, for instance, dextran, cellulose, etc. Other suitable scaffolds may be aromatic based, ethylene diamine based or propylene diamine based. In particular, in a preferred embodiment, the Z scaffold is a polyester dendron based on 2,2'-bis(methoxyol)propanoic acid (bis-MPA), such as the dendron or is a first or second or higher generation dendrimer based on 2,2'- bis(methoxyol)propanoic acid (bis-MPA) such as
Alternatively, Z is a poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendron or dendrimer (see, for instance, at Fig. 13) Within the compounds of formula (I), the one wherein when the dendrimer is the third generation dendrimer based on 2,2'-bis(methoxyol)propanoic acid (bis-MPA): and the X moiety is is excluded from the present invention.
