Description
Summary:How catalysis and metal complexes can be used to provide new approaches in cancer therapy is summarized in the Concept article on page 6651 ff. by L. Salassa et al. The article is focused on achievements in the design of catalytic metallodrugs that damage biomolecular targets and on the development of metal catalysis schemes for the activation of exogenous organic prodrugs. The authors also highlight the utilization of metals as substrates instead as catalysts for medicinal chemistry applications.
