| Title |
Medicinal Inorganic Chemistry |
| Description |
Medicinal inorganic chemistry is a relatively young, interdisciplinary research area that has grown primarily due to the success of cisplatin, a Pt-based anticancer drug developed in the late 1960s. Currently, metal complexes are used in many areas of medicine including anticancer and antimicrobial. The rational design of metal-based drugs is therefore a relatively new concept, facilitated by improvements in characterization and imaging techniques. During the lecture, it will be shown and emphasized that a metal complex that is administered is likely to be a prodrug that undergoes a transformation in vivo before reaching its target sites.
Elucidating the precise mechanisms of action of these new drugs is perhaps the most challenging
and complicated aspect of the research, because it requires drawing together knowledge concerning the reactivity of the metal complex.
During the lectures, using selected examples, we provide an overview of the uses of metal-based drugs in these diverse medical fields and, where appropriate, we guide the students to publications that provide a more in-depth analysis.
Relevant literature will be provided.
The book by FA Cotton & G. Wilkinson "Advanced-Inorganic-Chemistry" contains all the theoretical bases used in the course.
The website https://chem.libretexts.org/ contains a lot of useful information and courses in inorganic and organometallic chemistry.
Prerequisites: Bachelor’s degree in chemistry. Sufficient background in inorganic chemistry (lectures AC I & II at the DCBP).
