Application of inorganic chemistry for non-cancer therapeutics
Issue 21 of Dalton Transactions is a special issue focusing on therapeutic agents being developed in inorganic chemistry. The collection of articles showcases the variety of techniques and strategies employed by inorganic chemists to target a range of diseases and illnesses.
The Perspective by Pascale Delangle and Elizabeth Mintz overviews the use of copper chelation therapy in the treatment of Wilson’s disease (C2DT12188C), while Christophe Biot et al. discuss the therapeutic potential of metal-based antimalarial agents (C2DT12247B). Targeting is a prevailing theme in the issue and the paper from Chris Orvig et al. is no exception (C2DT12050J), while the contribution from Edward Tiekink (C2DT12225A) investigates the potential of selenium and tellurium compounds.
You can read the editorial from the issue’s Guest Editor Professor Katherine J. Franz, who succinctly runs through the contributions from all the issue authors.
