Metals in Medicine

About the Book: Metals in medicine are bridging the areas of inorganic chemistry and medicine. metal-based materials metallodrugs and agents for treating and detecting diseases their synthesis structure and general properties as well as biological applications on cellular and living system level are of great importance the mechanism of action and the roles of these metal compounds in cellular regulation and signaling in health and diseases are of principal interest these areas are linked by the need to involve researchers having a deep understanding of inorganic chemistry in medically relevant research the mode of action of cisplatin against tumor cells as well as a breif outlook on the metallocene compounds as antitumor drugs and future tendencies for the use of the latter in anticancer chemotherapy are summarised.
