Nucleic Acids: A Natural Target for Newly Designed Metal Chelate Based Drugs

Written by Irshad Ul Haq Bhat, this book sheds light on the pressing issue of human diseases becoming increasingly costly to treat, as well as the rising resistance offered by disease-causing agents.

The abundance of drugs in the market has undoubtedly provided significant relief to patients. However, the harsh side effects of these drugs can severely compromise the immune system. As a result, patients are not only forced to cover the expenses incurred for treatment but also need to find ways to boost their immune system. This necessitates a paradigm shift in designing drug molecules that are not only cost-effective but also easily accessible.

The Promise of Metal Complexes

Metal complexes, comprising metal ions that are essential components of biological molecules, can be a game-changer in this regard. They possess the unique ability to bind specifically to target sites without causing harm to healthy cells. This book presents a comprehensive compilation of recent data on the structural elucidation of metal complexes using advanced techniques and their binding patterns with specific targets, including nucleic acids.

Advances in Metal-Based Molecules and Their Interactions

The book focuses on recent advances and methods adopted for generating new metal-based molecules and their interactions with biomolecules. It addresses the challenges involved in developing new metal-based drugs and examines the latest optical techniques for characterizing metal-based drugs.

By exploring the potential of metal chelate based drugs, this book offers a promising solution to the rising costs and side effects associated with traditional treatments. It is an essential resource for researchers, scientists, and medical professionals seeking to develop more effective and targeted therapeutic approaches.
