|a"In recent years the field of medicinal inorganic chemistry has extended far beyond the traditional areas of platinum anticancer drugs. As metal-based drugs become increasingly common in the drug market, an understanding of medicinal inorganic chemistry is essential for successful drug design and development. Working from basic chemical principles, Metals in Medicine presents a complete and methodical approach to the topic."--BOOK JACKET.
