Description:

Metals in Medicine is a textbook directed a senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students, which describes metal-based agents for treating and diagnosing disease. Opening chapters present basic bonding concepts that are applicable to metallo-drugs and their biological targets, interactions that exist between the agents and substances in the biological milieu, basic pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties including transport and uptake of drugs by the cells, and methods for measuring efficacy and toxicity of agents. The steps from drug discovery to market place are also briefly outlined and discussed. These chapters lay the groundwork, in order that students can clearly…
