Reviews on Bioinorganic and Biomedical Chemistry of Gold
The June 2009 issue of Coordination Chemistry Reviews, to be published by Elsevier will contain a number of articles relevant to new biomedical applications for gold. The eleven papers include ‘Gold nanoparticle probes’ by Zhenzin Wang and Lina Ma, ‘Luminescence properties of phosphinegold(I) halides and thiolates by Edward Tietink and Jun-Gill Kang, ‘The tumour proteasome as a novel target for gold(III) complexes: implications for breast cancer therapy’ by Vesna Milacic and Q Ping Dou, and ‘Structures and properties of gold(I) complexes of interest in biochemical applications’ by John P Fackler Jr et al. In addition, there are three articles on use of gold compounds as anticancer drugs. This publication will assist in defining the significant number of biomedical applications now expected for nanoparticulate gold and gold compounds.
