Abstract

Metal ion chelators combined with nanostructure materials proved effective in the treatment and diagnosis of human diseases. Combine potentiometry, EPR and NMR techniques determine ligand content, metal complex stability constants and competition between metallodrugs and endogenous molecules. More details can be found in article number 2000544 by Joanna Izabela Lachowicz, Mariusz Jaremko, and co-workers.

Highlights

  • SBA-TETA is a mesoporous material functionalized with TETA copper and zinc chelating agent

  • SBA-TETA joins versatility of mesoporous materials to load a large amount of cargo, environmental-friendly, and bioavailability, with TETA high efficiency in metal coordination

  • Potentiometry technique was used for the first time for ligand content quantification in the SBA-TETA material and for the determination of metal complex formation constants
