Spectroscopy& Anticancer Activity Of Quercetin And Curcumin Complexes

Cancer is an extremely deadly disease. It is undoubtedly one of the main health concerns facing our society. Even though platinum based complexes had been in primary use on research as chemotherapy agents the interest in this field has shifted to non-platinum based agents. In order to find different metal complexes with less side effects and better cytotoxicity a variety of complexes with Gold are being studied with non-platinum based ligands especially gold ruthenium and palladium. These could someday become the replacement for platinum based anti-cancer drugs. The Book describes the Synthesis Charecterization by using Spectroscopic Techniques like FT-IR H1NMR C13NMR MASS ESR ELECTRONIC MAGNETTIC Techniques. It gives the importance of quercetin curcumin and their Oximes And Thiosemicarbazone derivatives and their Transition Metal Complexes. It also describes the Anticancer activity studies of these Metal Complexes of Quercetin Oxime Quercetin Thiosemicarbazone Curcumin Oxime and Curcumin Thiosemicarbazone. It is a very good accumilation of the facts and importance of these Complexes as Anti Cancer Drugs.
