Targeted Metallo-Drugs: Design, Development, and Mode of Action

In this volume the authors promote, endorse and stimulate research in the vibrant field of biological inorganic chemistry. They provide an overview of metallodrugs which have been rationally designed to target specific biomolecules in the human body with a view to generating targeted drugs or prodrugs with widespread biomedical applications. The volume focuses on recent trends and advances in relation to targeted metallodrugs as anti-cancer, anti-microbial and anti-viral agents with an emphasis on their design, development and mode of action. It also include recent advances in the use of nanoparticles and nanoclusters as important chaperones to deliver metallodrugs to their sites of action.
