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 latest advancements in the field of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. This book is a testament to the ongoing efforts of scientists worldwide to develop new metallo-drugs that can overcome the limitations of existing treatments, such as cisplatin, which has been a cornerstone in cancer therapy despite its side effects and resistance issues.

MILS-24 comprises 12 chapters, each meticulously crafted by a team of 32 international experts from Europe, Asia, and North and South America. With over 1600 citations, 100 figures, and 10 tables, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and students seeking to understand the intricacies of targeted metallo-drug design and development.

This volume covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Anticancer agents with enhanced cancer cell selectivity to reduce toxic side effects
• Antimicrobial, antiviral, and other agents targeting various diseases
• Recent developments in metallo-drugs aimed at combating COVID-19
• Advanced spectroscopic methods and metallomics as tools to elucidate the modes of actions of metallo-drugs

By providing insights into the latest research and innovations in the field, MILS-24 stimulates further investigation into the design and development of targeted metallo-drugs. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the rapidly evolving landscape of Biological Inorganic Chemistry and its applications in medicine.
