Organometallics in cancer chemotherapy

Abstract

This volume provides a brief introduction to the basic principles of coordination chemistry of transition metals. The easy-to-understand text reviews the data on toxicity, biological activity and antitumor properties of organometallic compounds of transition metals. This unique book gives a useful overview of the subject, and suggests new directions for future research. The detailed coverage of the subject matter provides much valuable information to the investigator who is actively engaged in antitumor research. This comprehensive resource is written for a broad, heterogeneous audience, including chemists, biologists and physicians involved in the synthesis, testing, evaluation and clinical application of new antitumor drugs.
