Metal Compounds In Medicine
Early diagnosis of diseases (e.g., cancer) and detection of curative progress after therapeutic treatments play an important role in medicine and health care.
This Demonstration illustrates the molecules for 15 organometallic drugs. Shown are the basic characteristics (the metal center, the code-ID for the crystallography open database, medical usage, known agents for the same usage, and the coordination polyhedron), and four 3D views (molecule, molecule and polyhedron, molecule and polyhedron around the metal atom, and idealized polyhedron).
