Pharmacological Evaluation of Copper complexes

More about the book

The book explores the evolving landscape of metal-based anticancer drugs, highlighting their ability to target various cellular and biological properties across different tumor types. It discusses the shift from traditional cytotoxic methods to the rational design of selective agents aimed at specific cellular targets. The role of essential metal ions, like zinc and copper, in biological systems is examined, along with their involvement in critical processes. The text emphasizes the challenges in developing these agents and suggests that integrating structural biology with chemistry could enhance the discovery of novel treatments.
