Bioinorganic Medicinal Chemistry

Explores the intersections of inorganic chemistry and therapeutic applications. Topics covered include the use of various metal-based compounds—such as platinum, ruthenium, gold, and gallium—as anticancer agents, often discussing their mechanisms of action, like DNA binding and redox-dependent cytotoxicity. The text also investigates metal-containing compounds for other medical uses, including agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neutron capture therapy (NCT), as well as treatments for metabolic disorders (e.g., iron and copper imbalances) and conditions like diabetes and bipolar disorder. Furthermore, it details the role of metal complexes as enzyme inhibitors and their use as luminescent probes for biological imaging and diagnostics.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/pharmacy_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
