Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Metal ions are currently used for such applications as diabetes, anti-inflammatory, rheumatoid arthritis, psychiatric, and anti-ulcer medications, using compounds of vanadium, copper and zinc, gold, lithium, and bismuth, respectively. This text explores these applications in addition to an assessment of chelation therapy, uses in environmental sciences, and the human health effects of metal ion deficiency for several elements-magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron. Featuring contributions from 29 internationally recognized experts, this book offers a timely, authoritative look at ionic complexes in medicine.

Book News Annotation:

Continuing a series first started in 1973, the 41st volume features 13 articles on the presence of metal ions in medications, with an introductory article on speciation dependent intake and uptake of essential elements by Janette Davidege and David R. Williams (both: chemistry at Cardiff U., UK). Other topics include magnesium in human therapy, zinc deficiency, calcium status and supplementation, the use of zinc in wound healing, and vanadium compounds in treating diabetes. Gold, copper, lithium, bismuth, nitrogen monoxide modulation, and the use of metal complexes for tropical diseases are also topics. The contributors are chemists at universities and private research facilities worldwide. This volume was jointly published by FontisMedia S.A. of Lausanne, Switzerland, and Marcel Dekker.
