Targeted Metallo-Drugs: Design, Development, and Modes of Action

Volume 24 of the series Metal Ions in Life Sciences (MILS), edited by Etelka Farkas and Celine J. Marmion, is a comprehensive guide to the design, development, and modes of action of targeted metallo-drugs. Inspired by the success of cisplatin as a leading anticancer drug, researchers worldwide are working to identify new metallo-drugs that enhance cancer cell selectivity and reduce toxic side effects, or possess new modes of action to improve efficacy and target resistance pathways.

This book consists of 12 well-illustrated chapters, featuring contributions from 32 international experts from Europe, Asia, and North and South America. With over 1600 citations, 100 figures, and 10 tables, it provides an in-depth look at the latest developments in the field of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, keeping the scientific community up-to-date and stimulating further research on targeted metallo-drug design and development.

Key Features:

• Anticancer, Antimicrobial, Antiviral, and Other Agents: This volume covers a wide range of metallo-drugs, including those targeting tropical diseases and cyanide poisoning, as well as radiometals in molecular imaging and therapy.
• COVID-19 Targeting: It highlights recent metallo-drug developments aimed at combating COVID-19, providing insights into the ongoing research in this critical area.
• Advanced Spectroscopic Methods and Metallomics: The book features advanced spectroscopic methods and metallomics as essential tools for elucidating the modes of action of metallo-drugs, offering researchers valuable techniques for their own investigations.
