Metal ions are used in medicine for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. Some metals like technetium, gadolinium, and iron are used for medical imaging techniques like MRI. Other metals such as platinum, gold, and zinc are used to treat conditions like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and infections. One important platinum-based drug is cisplatin, which is highly effective against cancers like testicular cancer but can have side effects like kidney damage and hearing loss.
Vitamin C, glutathione, and various enzymes have radioprotective effects against cellular damage caused by ionizing radiation. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can scavenge reactive oxygen species produced by radiation and protect DNA and membranes. Glutathione is also a free radical scavenger that protects against radiation damage. Various enzymes also help scavenge free radicals produced by radiation. The presentation concludes that vitamin C, glutathione, and enzymes play an important role in mitigating the effects of ionizing radiation exposure.
Environment inside even a small tumor is characterized by total (anoxia) or partial oxygen deprivation, hypoxia. It has been shown that radiotherapy and some conventional chemotherapies may be less effective in hypoxia, and therefore it is important to investigate how different drugs act in different microenvironments. In this study we perform a large screening of the effects of 19 clinically used or experimental chemotherapeutic drugs on four different cell lines in conditions of normoxia, hypoxia and anoxia.

Geraldine forgot to do her homework of writing a poem. When her teacher, Mrs. Scott, came to check her work, Geraldine said she couldn't write a poem because nothing lovely was happening in her life - she hadn't seen flowers or the sun, and robins didn't sing by her window. Mrs. Scott told the class Geraldine's response was the best poem they would ever hear and wrote it on the board. When the bell rang, students congratulated Geraldine or tapped her shoulder as she had become the classroom poet, though Geraldine noticed Mrs. Scott crying as she left.

The document summarizes the synthesis of a novel glucose-conjugated ruthenium complex for use as an anti-cancer drug. Ruthenium complexes have advantages over platinum drugs due to fewer side effects and ability to target cancer cells selectively. The project aims to attach glucose to a ruthenium RAPTA complex to take advantage of cancer cells' high glucose uptake via the Warburg effect. While precursors were made successfully, attaching glucose directly to the ruthenium complex was challenging as the complex degraded under standard conditions and the glucose derivative was immiscible in solvents. Further optimization of reaction conditions is needed to synthesize the desired compound.

Copper Nanoparticles and Antioxidant Stress: Problem Makers or Solvers?_ Cri...CrimsonpublishersNTNF
Copper nanoparticles (NPs) have various applications but also pose environmental concerns. They can act as both problem makers and problem solvers. As problem makers, copper NPs may accumulate in the environment and cause toxicity in plants and animals over the long term. However, they also show promise as problem solvers by demonstrating antibacterial properties useful for wound dressings, and potential antioxidant and antidiabetic effects. More research is still needed to fully understand the ecological effects of copper NP exposure and their long term impacts on human health before their widespread use can be considered safe.
This document provides information about MRI contrast agents. It discusses that MRI contrast agents are used to improve visibility of internal structures during MRI scans. The most commonly used contrast agents contain gadolinium and work by shortening the T1 relaxation time of protons. This causes enhanced contrast between tissues. Contrast agents must have unpaired electrons to generate a magnetic field and interact with proton spins in tissues. The document discusses various types of contrast agents classified by their composition, effects, and applications. It also covers administration routes, side effects like allergic reactions and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), and contraindications for use.
This document discusses radium-223, a radiopharmaceutical used to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It provides an overview of radium-223's mechanism of action as an alpha particle emitter that deposits high doses of radiation within tumor cells while minimizing bone marrow toxicity. The document also summarizes a key phase III trial which found radium-223 improved median overall survival by 3.6 months compared to placebo in men with symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Cancer occurs due to genetic changes in cells that lead to uncontrolled growth. Anticancer drugs target features of cancer cells, including their DNA, to interfere with cell division and cause cell death. The main classes of anticancer drugs are alkylating agents, antimetabolites, antibiotics, and plant alkaloids. Alkylating agents like cyclophosphamide cause DNA damage. Antimetabolites like methotrexate interfere with DNA synthesis. Antibiotics such as doxorubicin intercalate DNA. Side effects depend on the drug but can include suppression of the immune system and damage to organs.
This document discusses the potential applications of nanotechnology for cancer diagnosis and treatment. It describes how gold nanoparticles less than 100 nanometers in size can enter cells and interact with DNA and proteins, making them useful for detecting disease at the cellular level. Gold nanoparticles are highlighted as a promising tool for targeted drug delivery for cancer therapy. They can bind cytotoxic drugs and produce heat when activated by infrared light to precisely kill cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue. While gold nanoparticles show advantages like targeted therapy and non-toxicity, challenges include potential effects on the reticuloendothelial system and higher costs.

Doxorubicin (Dox) is a potent chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of cancer. In the present study, pH responsive chitosan polymer coated Dox nanoparticle (Composite) was developed to investigate targeted drug delivery against breast cancer. The anticancer drug DOX-ZnO QDs was loaded to the chitosan nanoparticles. The synthesized free and drug loaded nanoparticle were analyzed using Fourier transmission electron microscopy (FTIR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis). The particle size was measured using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Further, the composite was evaluated for its anticancer effects. Drug release analysis showed significantly larger amount of drug released in acidic pH of 5.0 compared to pH 7.4. The composite was significantly more cytotoxic to the breast cancer cells MCF-7 and SKBR-3. The composite was however, less toxic to HEK-293 human embryonic kidney cells confirming minimum side effects on normal cells andcytotoxic to tumor cells. DAPI staining showed nuclear degradation in composite treated breast cancer cells. The cellular uptake of the composite was analyzed by confocal microscopy. The composite induced a G0/G1 phase arrest in breast cancer cells and the number of colonies formed by the composite treated breast cancer cells formed less number of colonies compared to free NP. Our results showed that our composite could serve as a promising therapeutic approach to improve clinical outcomes against various malignancies.

The document also discusses objectives, the need for the research, introduction to phototherapy and ZnPc, and characterization of the synthesized ZnPc nanowires.
Platinum-based drugs have been used to treat cancer since the 1960s. Three major platinum drugs are currently used: cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin. While effective, they have limitations like nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Researchers continue developing new platinum complexes to reduce toxicity and overcome resistance. Recent progress includes developing orally administered and light-activated platinum drugs, and identifying genes involved in platinum transport and DNA repair pathways. Clinical trials of new drugs like satraplatin and picoplatin continue seeking FDA approval to expand treatment options.
Objective: Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide.Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most important element in this disease.The aim of this study is to prepare TiO2/ZnO nanocomposite (NC), titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO)nanoparticles (NPs) to determine the anticancer activity on human CC cell line (HeLa) and healthy mouse fibroblast cell line (L-929). Materials&Methods: ZnO, TiO2 NPs and NC were prepared by a solution combustion synthesis method. The samples were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. Stability analysis was performed with zeta potential. The synthesized NC and NPs were permormed to the HeLa and L-929 cell lines and anticancer activity of these NC and NPs were determined by using MTT method. The HeLa and L-929 cells were treated with different concentrations of these NC and NPs (0,5-100 μg/ml) for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The spectrophotometric readings at 570 nm were recorded and analysed with Graphpad Prism7. Results: NC and NPs were successfully synthesized. The effects of these NC and NPs on the HeLa and L-929 cells were compared with the control group and IC50 values were determined for 24, 48 and 72 hours. Then we compared the effects of these molecules on the L-929 cell line with the HeLa cell line and founded more active is on HeLa cells. Conclusion:There are many drugs used in CC treatment. However, undesirable toxicity and drug resistance of these drugs negatively affect treatment.We have synthesized NC and NPs in order to formulate basis of a new drug in this study and have identified anti-cancer activity.As a result, we found that NC and NPs anti-cancer activity was higher in HeLa cells than in L-929.

2. Metal Ions in Medicine
Metals in medicine are used in organic
systems for diagnostic and treatment
purposes.
Inorganic elements are also essential for
organic life as cofactors in enzymes
called Metalloproteins.
When metals are scarce or high
quantities, equilibrium is set out of balance
and must be returned to its natural state.
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 2
3. Metals in diagnosis
Metal ions are often used for diagnostic
medical imaging.
Metal complexes can be used either for
radioisotope imaging (from their emitted
radiation), for example, in magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI).
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Structure
Sakharkar 3
4. Examples of metals used for
diagnosis:Tc is the most commonly used
Technetium:
radioisotope agent for imaging purposes. It has a
short half-life, emits only γ ray photons, and does
not emit β or α particles and thus is particularly
suitable as an imaging radioisotope.
Gadolinium(III), Iron(III), Manganese(II): For MRI
imaging paramagnetic metals are needed for
contrast imaging. Gd(III), Fe(III), and Mn(II) are all
paramagnetic metals that are able to alter the
tissue relaxation times and produce a contrast
image.
Cobalt(III): Co(III) is used with the compound
bleomycin, which is an antibiotic, to be selectively
be taken up by tumor cells. The use of Co results
in the best blood-to-tumor distribution ratio, but its
half-life is too long to be conducive for imaging
purposes 3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 4
5. Metals in treatment
Metals have been used in treatments since ancient
times.
Sodium vanadate has been used since the early 20th
century to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
Recently metals have been used to treat cancer, by
specifically attacking cancer cells and interacting
directly with DNA. The positive charge on most metals
can interact with the negative charge of the phosphate
backbone of DNA.
Some drugs developed that include metals interact
directly with other metals already present in protein
active sites, while other drugs can use metals to
interact with amino acids with the highest reduction
potential.
Cisplatin, a platinum Anzar Sakharkar complex.

6. Examples of Metals used in
treatment
Platinum: Platinum based compounds have been shown to
specifically effect head and neck tumors.
Gold: Gold salt complexes have been used to
treat rheumatoid arthritis.
Zinc: Zinc can be used topically to heal wounds. Zn2+ can be
used to treat the herpes virus.
Silver: Silver has been used to prevent infection at the burn
site for burn wound patients.
Tungsten: Tungsten polyoxoanions can be used to treat AIDS.
Platinum, Titanium, Vandium, Iron: cis DDP (cis-
diaminedichoroplatinum), titanium, vanadium, and iron have
been shown to react with DNA specifically in tumor cells to
treat patients with cancer.
Gold, Silver, Copper: Phosphine ligand compounds containing
gold, silver, and copper have anti-cancer properties.
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 6
7. Cisplatin
Cisplatin, cisplatinum, or cis-
diamminedichloroplatinum(II)
(CDDP) is a chemotherapy drug. It
was the first member of a class of
platinum-containing anti-cancer drugs.
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 7
8. Cisplatin is administered intravenously as
short-term infusion in normal saline for
treatment of solid malignancies.
It is used to treat various types of cancers,
including sarcomas, some carcinomas (e.g.
small cell lung cancer, and ovarian cancer),
lymphomas, and germ cell tumors.
Cisplatin is particularly effective against
testicular cancer; the cure rate was improved
from 10% to 85%
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 8
9. Mechanism of action
Following administration, one of the chloride ligands is
slowly displaced by water in a process termed
aquation.
The aqua ligand in the resulting [PtCl(H2O)(NH3)2]+ is
itself easily displaced, allowing the platinum atom to
bind to bases.
Of the bases on DNA, guanine is preferred.
Subsequent to formation of [PtCl(guanine-
DNA)(NH3)2]+, cross-linking can occur via displacement
of the other chloride ligand, typically by another
guanine.
The damaged DNA elicits DNA repair mechanisms,
which in turn activate apoptosis when repair proves
impossible.
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 9
10. DNA binding
Cisplatin binds to DNA and causes a
critical structural change in the DNA –
a bend of 45 degrees.
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 10
11. Cisplatin resistance
Cisplatin combination chemotherapy is the
cornerstone of treatment of many cancers.
Initial platinum responsiveness is high but the
majority of cancer patients will eventually
relapse with cisplatin-resistant disease.
Oxaliplatin is active in highly cisplatin-resistant
cancer cells in the laboratory; however, there
is little evidence for its activity in the clinical
treatment of patients with cisplatin-resistant
cancer
The drug paclitaxel may be useful in the
treatment of cisplatin-resistant cancer; the
mechanism for this activity is unknown.
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 11
12. Carboplatin
Carboplatin, or cis-Diammine(1,1-
cyclobutanedicarboxylato)platinum
(II) is a chemotherapy drug used
against some forms of cancer (mainly
ovarian carcinoma, lung, head and
neck cancers)
3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 12
14. Side effects
Nephrotoxicity (kidney damage) is a major
concern. The dose is reduced when the
patient's creatinine clearance (a measure
of renal function) is reduced.
Myelotoxicity: This agent can also cause
profound bone marrow suppression.[15]
Hemolytic anemia can be developed after
several courses of cisplatin. It is
suggested that an antibody reacting with a
cisplatin-red-cell membrane is responsible
for hemolysis.[16] 3/10/2013 By Mohd Anzar Sakharkar 14
15. Neurotoxicity (nerve damage) can be
anticipated by performing nerve conduction
studies before and after treatment.
Nausea and vomiting: cisplatin is one of the
most emetogenic chemotherapy agents.
Ototoxicity (hearing loss): there is at present
no effective treatment to prevent this side
effect, which may be severe.
Electrolyte disturbance: Cisplatin can cause
hypomagnesaemia, hypokalaemia and
hypocalcaemia. The hypocalcaemia seems
to occur in those with low serum magnesium
secondary to cisplatin, so it is not primarily
due to the Cisplatin.
