Metal Complexes as Magic Bullet - An Overview
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Magic Bullet comprises of a specific synthesized drug in which metal ions play an important role. These drugs can be designed to treat and cure a specific disease by attacking on specifically diseased cells leaving aside the healthy ones, there by, increasing the efficiency of a drug. As metal ions are used since ages as immuno-modulators, they trigger the immunity, if combined with the durg. Thus, combination of drug can be chelated with metal ions, which can help to develop innovative strategies for preparing combinatorial drug, also known as “Magic Bullet” or metal complexes or mixed ligand complex in the light of the chelate hypothesis.
