Metal-based anticancer agents
Contributor(s): Casini, Angela [ed.] | Vessières, Anne [ed.] | Meier-Menches, Samuel M. [ed.].
Series: Metallobiology series. / edited by C. David Garner.Publisher: London Royal Society of Chemistry 2019Description: xiii, 355p.ISBN: 9781788014069.Subject(s): Metals -- Therapeutic use | Antineoplastic agentsDDC classification: 615.23 | M564 Summary: Metal-based anticancer drugs are among the most successful therapeutic agents, as evidenced by the frequent prescription of selected platinum and arsenic compounds to patients. Metal-based Anticancer Agents covers the interdisciplinary world of inorganic drug discovery and development by introducing the most prominent compound classes based on different transition metals, discussing emerging concepts and enabling methods, as well as presenting key pre-clinical and clinical aspects. Recent progress on the unique features of next-generation targeted metal-based anticancer agents, including supramolecular coordination complexes used for both therapy and drug delivery, promise a bright future beyond the benefits of pure cytotoxic activity. With contributions from global leaders in the field, this book will serve as a useful reference to established researchers as well as a practical guide to those new to metallodrugs, and postgraduate students of medicinal chemistry and metallobiology.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
