T he present study was indeed to optimize the PAMAM dendrimer and fatty acid nanoparticles for controlled delivery of doxorubicin. Core shell nanoparticle based formulation were prepared and evaluated for haematotoxiclogy and in- vivo study. The structure and properties of several poly(amidoamine) dendrimers have been studied extensively. Dendrimers are interesting candidates for designing colloidal drug delivery system through interaction with oppositely charged (anionic) surfactants. Formulations were prepared using alcoholic solution of palmitic acid (0.039 M moles) and 4.0G PAMAM dendrimer (0.0014 Mmoles). Dendrimer based nanoparticle of doxorubicin differing in fatty acid (palmitic acid) composition were prepared by dilution method. Dendrimeric formulation was subjected to in vitro and in vivo characterization. Transmission at max 650 nm decreases from 100% to 84.5% by increasing the concentration of palmitic acid from 1:16 to 1:32. The average particle size was 253.5 nm determined by Malvern particle size analyser and the zeta potential was +7.69. The particle size of selected formulation was also determined by TEM to be 200 nm. These differences in particle size by two methods may be due to the differences in samples preparation during measurement. One month haematotoxicological evaluation was performed as per OECD guidelines. Results were satisfactory. The core shell fatty acid and dendrimer complex formulations can be used for suitably controlled drug delivery of anticancer drugs
