Exploring Transition Metal Complexes of Pharmaceutical Agents for Enhanced Bioactivity
Keywords:
Transition metal complexes, Coordination chemistry, Bioinorganic chemistry, Metal drug complexes, Organometallic chemistry, Chelation therapySynopsis
The book is a thorough overview of how coordination chemistry can make the existing therapeutic drugs have the potential to transform. Having complexes with transition metals, most pharmaceutical agents display greater stability, greater bioavailability, and potent bioactivity, thus opening new potential of drugs development and targeted therapy.
The book has combined the basic concepts, current research developments and applications in a reachable manner to give the students, researchers and practitioners a clear picture of the symbiotic correlation that exists between metal ions and medicines. It throws light through the elaborate discussions on how metal-drug complexes are able to solve various problems that include resistance, toxicity and low solubility.
I wish that this work will result in further researches in the field that is rapidly developing, and has a contribution to the creation of more effective and safer therapeutic approaches.
I highly appreciate everyone who has helped to do this book successfully with support, skill, and guidance and I am grateful to all these people. It is an outcome of various inspirations, interaction, and unremitting encouragement of numerous people and establishments.
