Multi-triggered self-immolative dendritic compounds

摘要

Novel self-immolative dendritic compounds which have a plurality of cleavable trigger units and hence can release a chemical moiety at their focal point upon a multi-triggering mechanism are disclosed. The novel self-immolative dendritic compounds are gated by a molecular logic gate, being either an AND or OR logic gate and hence can be beneficially used in a variety of biological, chemical and physical applications. Processes of preparing, compositions containing and methods utilizing the novel dendritic compounds are further disclosed.
