Opis

The present reference book covers the advancement in the area of bioorganometallics and Metalopharmaceuticals applications and perspectives of organic derivatives of antimony in recent past. It is well known that organoantimony compounds shows vast potential in biomedical research in past few years and used in the treatment of various chronic and acute diseases. The authors tried to compile literature and own research work regarding this area up to date along with brief out lines of medicinal importance of metals. The importance of metal based drugs lies in the fact that they are essential components for various physico-chemical processes occurring in living system. The spectrum of the metal based drugs has been expanded as they have found their place among a class of potential biologically active compounds exhibiting antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, trypanosomal, anti-herpes and anti-tubercular along with the treatment of cancer and gastric disorders.
